[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1189226, member: 2460"] Agreed 100%............ my monkeying around with the 6.5 Prometheus has shown very little velocity increase with 140 gr bullets after about 96 gr of US869, 160 gr bullets showed a bit more vel. increase but also topped out and cramming case full of powder and hard crush seating did not show much velocity gains other than raising pressures........, the simple explanation is we do not have powders yet for such overbore 6.5mm fire breathing monsters, the 6.5 Romulus design is what I have come up with based on usable powder for 160 gr 6.5mm bullets in a short and yet fatter case in hopes of more efficiency to beat all the longer cartridges with less powder ...... all theory at this point and the project continues [/QUOTE]
