AKwolverine,

"Still waiting to hear an independent verification of the case capacity. That shooting times table is all kinds of fubar."

Yep. Measuring case capacity by filling the case to the mouth is not the functional capacity. If it was, the .30-40 Krag's very long neck would count as "extra" powder space, even though with most bullets the neck is filled with, well, the bullet--not powder. You could shorten the neck 1/4" and it wouldn't make any difference in functional powder room.

On the other hand, the Weatherby fills yet another slot in the ever-increasing number of 6.5mm rounds.
