6.5-06 vs. 6.5-284

Wow. That sounds good. I have a 6.5-06 now and have spoke with Rich about the cartridge already and may ream out this chamber when the barrel is done to use it for fire forming before putting on a new barrel.
 
Capt Academy,

New Proto-type 6.5 SAUM brass from Hornady. I got a handfull to test and run thru the paces. Here is what I figured out so far...

h2O capacity is 72.5 and the new cases weigh average of 230.75 with 1.2 GN difference.

My Rem. 7saum weigh average of 219.6 with a 3.7 GN difference.

The new brass is far more consistent !

Necks, case weight, and run out is excellent ! Shoot the crap outta them and see how they hold up. Will post more as it goes.

I didn't want to promise something that couldn't be delivered but here is the first test batch of the Hornady brass 6.5 SAUM. We didn't get many pieces so a few folks got a few pieces each to get a broader base of response.

Hopefully we'll have more information in a week or two.

Regards.
