    I'm sure you have logic and reasoning behind that. Might I ask why you say that?

    Because I have 1/2 dozen WSMs from 6mm through 300, and purposely mutilate my brass on a regular basis, and the Rsaum does not come any where near the speed or amount of firings they WSM based cases get, I have never owned one but I use to load for a shooting buddy and he and the cases gave up after a while. plus there was a really bad dry spell for that brass. and like most with a short attention span he went on to something else and never looked back.

    RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

Even WSM brass is hard to find unless you wanna pay top dollar for mediocre brass.
    I was lucky to find somebody who really liked my 6.5wsm about the same time i decided i wasent as happy as i thought i would be.
    I think the 6.5/06ai is a better idea.

    Me too! I haven't looked back since I made the switch.
