    another thing to keep in mind mate, the 6.5 Cr has a slightly straighter body taper, and an increased shoulder angle, this seems to result in increased brass life, even with typically softer Norma brass.I was taking about this with Daggers on the weekend.Lack of pressure, non compressed loads= still more potential, and hes already getting 2700 with 140s- i know this cos i sold him the rifle , but hell prolly chime in again I'm sure .
    This cal sure does have a lot to offer, and while it does all the same things as all the others, 708,308,260 and the deer dont know the diff, it does have some decent attractions over the others.
