[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2535453, member: 1951"] Probably, but how much better is it than the 6.5x284? Seriously, the issue is usually in getting top quality brass and making it worth the die investment. With something so close, I’d question myself a bit. I feel like you would need to bite the bullet and get a chamber and sizing reamer. That is about $400ish, I believe. Then you are probably looking at $200-$500 for someone to make a set of dies. So, the question is do you care tha5 much? At least doing this, you get the slight velocity bump of going up a caliber. That’s a little harsh, but it would be worth really looking at standard dies and special low volume die calibers before jumping not full wildcat. Not to mention, what if you screw up your design? What if the case size & shape is such that there really aren’t any great powder choices? On the other hand, why not take a relatively great round like 7 SAUM and throat it for mono’s or the same for the 270 Win or the same for the 30-06 ai? Seriously, a 30-06 ai is a low volume die from a couple makers. Call a reamer maker and ask them who’s dies work with their 30-06 ai. Then increase your freebore to shoot hammers or something else cool & long 168 -190 gr. [/QUOTE]
