I always thought the 300 savage formed from 308 brass with the neck left long would be perfect. I guess that would be a 30 Creedmoor. I like longer necks and would like to have seen the 6.5 Creedmoor made with full length 308 brass so the neck would be longer. It gives greater latitude when seating bullets of different lengths. The 264 Win Mag would have been vastly better with a neck which was 1/8 inch longer. The 30/06 is perfect, shoulder angle notwithstanding. GD
