It would show more love to call it a 257 Haggard. BTW, he was a Californian.

.......11 pages on what to name a caliber?.......

That's why .257 MudRunner express works. Picture the thread .257 MudRunner Express vs 6.5 Creedmoor-it could break the net. Lots of marketing potential there.

Some variation of Okie would please my dust bowl refugee ancestors.

I think 257 Blackjack is the obvious proper name. Then when the next comes out you can name it the 257 Crackerjack.

If that picture is an actual picture of it, I'm going to guess it is a necked down 7mm SAUM with the body shortened .100".

It's not a necked down Saum shortened .100" because the capacity would be much higher than 59 grains. It's very likely a prc with the shoulder pushed back a little more than that!

I've been considering moving the shoulder back just enough to allow for H1000 to push the 131 to 3150 FPS. Besides getting the appropriate reamer, is it possible/how difficult would it be to push the shoulder back on the PRC case about .200" of an inch with a standard PRC die shortened proportionally? I understand the case would have to be trimmed to length and then neck turned afterwards.

There are a lot of issues with pushing a shoulder that far including shoulder collapse, neck thickening, doughnut on the inside as well as outside, etc.
