Y'know... There's a certain gunsmith I know you're aware of that does absolutely fantastic work on #1s. It's one of the things he's wanting to specialize in as well. He'd gladly accept this one ;) I'm sure he could sparkle some magic on it and have it tighten up at those higher velos
My next rifle will be a 7 SAUM because I have a .284 carbon barrel sitting around. I’ll be paying close attention to the numbers he gets, although I think I’ll run with the SAAMI spec chamber to be different than mainstream.

My idea is to take the 6.5x55 Swede case, neck it down to .257, and give it a blown out case and either 35° or 40° shoulder (like an...
