Scott probably has. I know wade stuteville has chambered several. It's not a huge deal though. If they have chambered a 6.5 saum they've basically done a prc. There isn't much difference.

What are you thinking Buzz? I've loaded and shot some of the PRC. It's a great little hot rod round. I'll be building a 6.5 GAP 4S here shortly.

The 6.5SAUM has my attention. I want a hard hitting round in a short action (Savage) It's simple really. A Tikka T3 rechambered with a custom 6.5mm Bartlein barrel pushing a 147 ELD-M about 3100-3200 fps! It's essentially a necked down 7 SAUM to 6.5mm. It holds about 65 grains of powder, and pushes a 140-147 grain at a good clip. It fits in a short action, but this will be on a Tikka, which are all long actions. I have a link HERE about it.

I used a 6.5 SAUM with the 135 Berger quite a bit this last fall and it’s a solid performer for sure.

or a .22-.250 Before or after that Valkerie bolt? Valkyrie bolt action would be so sweet! Richards, the lot of you. I don't know why are so against the new BENCHMARK for long range precision short action bolt guns. You need to get educated and keep up with new technology. https://www.outdoorhub.com/reviews/2018/01/04/first-look-field-test-flight-224-valkyrie/Q: Is the 224 a true 1,000-yard round? A: Yes, the 224 Valkyrie will be the new benchmark for people looking to shoot at longer ranges with their AR platform rifles, and precision short-action bolt guns alike. To say the 224 Valkyrie is fast, even at long ranges, is an understatement. Testing conducted by Federal Premium engineers confirms its high-speed capabilities. For example, the 224 Valkyrie 90-grain Gold Medal Sierra MatchKing leaves the muzzle at 2,700 fps; it maintains a blistering 1,950 fps pace at 500 yards, and 1,268 fps when crossing the 1,000-yard line. In fact, it remains supersonic (1,125 fps) out to 1,300 yards.

Scott, I think the 22-250, 22 Creedmoor, 22-243 or 224TTH with 1:7 twist barrels will shoot the 90gr 22 cal pills several hundred fps faster than the Valkyrie.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

But those aren't the new BENCHMARK like I read on the internet. Right. Explained it before. Guess I have to again. It's cool in an AR-15. 6.5 Grendel will do more. In a bolt action, it could only sit on the sidelines and suck it's thumb, watching what a properly loaded .223 A.I. and a .22-250 can do. I have one of each. As Kevin said, throw the .22 Creedmoor in, and the .224 Valkyrie isn't anything more than the new girl in school guys are panting over, that's a 7, while the 10 you've known for years is still sitting right there.

I’m trolling you buddy. Anything I want to do with a 22 centerfire can be done with 5.56 NATO that I already own in abundance. I have less than zero interest in a Valkyrie. I just think the hype machine is funny.
