    When I finally get time to work on it it will only take me a couple of hours.
    After more case modeling and some conceptual volumes v/s powder burn rates on quick load, I have decided to reduce the case length a little more to use a faster powder and a shorter barrel.
    The std 284win case necked down to .25cal has a very simalar volume to a .25-06 which uses slow burning magnum powders, blowing the case forward to a 40 deg shoulder and straight walling the case lifts the volume to that of a wsm and 6.5prc case. I need to reduce the volume back to keep the powder fill in the ideal zone for pressure and accuracy.
