We have seen this with the 6.5WSM, 6.5WSSM, 6.5Creedmoore, and many others.
Third: this was tried as soon as te SAUM cases were availale, I was necking them down when shortmags.org was still alive and got the idea from a fella in Virginia!
launch a bullet at 3,000FPS or thereabouts and it doesn't matter too mauch what case it came out of.
I do believe it has a bit more throat life than the WSM however.

agreed.i still think the 6.5x47 lapua does all the 6.5 cal is capable of.When going long you need heavier projectiles with higher bc to be competitive nowadays. the 7 saum shooting the 180 grain bergers and the 30 saum shooting the 200 plus grainers for distances past 700m seems to be the trend of late.
