[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1866589, member: 70559"] One of my wildcats is a 6.5-.338 RUM. But I use .300 RUM brass without trimming so it has a longer neck. Ben at Hornady named it 6.5RUMLN. I asked him what that stands for. He said, "6.5 [B]RUM[/B] with a [B]L[/B]ong [B]N[/B]eck." After the 'smith ran the 6.5-.338 RUM reamer in then he ran a 6.5mm neck reamer in to extend the neck. The bullet doesn't need to protrude into the powder room as much with this setup. The 28" barrel gets 3,419 fps with 140 grain bullets. I now have a 7-.338RUMLN reamer from Manson I have not used yet. I may rebarrel my .375 wildcat with a 7mm and use this reamer. [/QUOTE]
