Otter6



Swamplord's 6.5Prometheus inspired me to make my 6.5 RUMLN. I didn't want to open the Remington clone bolt face of the Perce action up to .490" so I went with Remington's .532" bolt face. His hold 105 grains of water while mine holds 109 grains. But his case, the Norma .300 Magnum, is a tougher case than the 7RUM case I use, I think. He gets 3,700 with a 140 grain bullet while I hope to get 3,600 from the 142 Matrix bullets.

I think his is likely to become a factory round but mine is not.
