Thanks Bart. Do you also have info on the 300 SAUM ? I'm trying to decide which case to build a 6.5 mm with. Thanks, Bill.

300SAUM 4.73cc.If your going for a 6.5mm wildcat use the use the 7mm Win. short mag case and give it a .350" neck length or better. Personally I would go with the ultra mag. case in 6.5 trimmed to a 2.500", a neck .350" long and a 26.5 degree shoulder Smilerroger

If it helps, there is a guy with a 6.5WSM he really loves (and loves to talk about) over at

www.shortmags.org

Look in the wildcats forum. I think he owns the tooling to chamber it as well.
