If there was ever head stamped brass for that wildcat i would be on board !!!!I love my 6.5 saum, but if I were building a 6.5 wildcat today it'd be a 6.5-7 PRC like
Hornady should have done from the get go..
Why do you need headstamped brass? Are you taking this rifle out of country to hunt? Pretty sure that's the only legality that involves "having" to match head stamp. I shoot lapua 6cm brass in my 22cm, 300sherman mag, necked to 7mm in my 7/300prc. Never been a issue for me. Perhaps it's just for your peace of mind? Or ocd? I can understand that.......If there was ever head stamped brass for that wildcat i would be on board !!!!
I fire formed brass for. 243AI for years. I wore out three barrels on that rig. That something I personally wouldnt wanna so any more. As well as necking down for a 6.5-06 rifle. I personally dont like brass intensive brass prep anymore. Which is a personal preference the older I get.Why do you need headstamped brass? Are you taking this rifle out of country to hunt?

Has RL 26 been pretty good with temps? Does it seem pretty temp stable? Do you shoot it in the summer and then fall?R26 is pure magic in my SAUM. I bought a lot of it back before it became unobtanium, I'm good for 5 or 6 barrels worth of shooting.

Ok. I appreciate the info@Retterath rl26 is relatively temp stable till upper 80s for temps, then it's rumored it can spike in pressure. This is usually happening with guys running the edge of psi to begin with.
Ryan,The 6.5 SAUM has a 30-degree shoulder angle. The Saum I improved gave me about 60 FPS. Not worth the effort, IMO. Now, what about a 6.5 SAUM IMP +P??
But really, everyone should be building a 6UM. LOL
I decided to go the improved and + P. Necessary? Probably not. But I want to do it so I am.I am looking at building a 6.5 saum so already headed down the "wildcat" route and was wondering if should just go deeper and make it a 6.5 saum improved. I understand how the change in the bullet for 280 to 280 AI made the cartridge better. As I understand it a 6.5 saum generally has a shoulder angle of 60 degrees, but if made it improved does that change it to 40 degrees? Also anyone know what the general velocity gain is from improving a cartridge? Like a % pump, since it will depend on the case capacity. With all that being said I am not the biggest gun guru so I might be out of my element on this topic, but looking to gain some insight. Thanks in advance.

I just ordered it. I went 22 inch.What is your barrel length and the performance out of it?
