Do a search on the Forum. There have been many threads on the new cartridge.
Also we have been reporting on the cartridge in the BLOG since November last year.
See: http://www.6mmbr.com/blogarchive.html
The cartridge is very similar in size/capacity to D. Tubb's 6XC. However it will have a small flash hole and small primer pocket. This is part is why the cartridge is rated to 63090 psi.
This means, with a powder such as Varget, it should be able to push the .547 BC 123gr Scenar to 3000 fps, based on our predictions. Necked down to 6mm, it should offer performance similar to the 6XC, i.e. sending a 115gr DTAC at 3000 fps.
