well then
I apparently do better at 200 than 100. I have come to the conclusion, at this rate I would AGG .2536 @ 600 yards. I will accept contributions to my new cartridge design at www.nickbauerispoor.com to prove me wrong. J/K
I was just happy to be on paper today.

Here is the report http://benchrest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60018
Nick - Don't look at your 100 yard agg vs your 200 yard agg. Look at your targets and you will find 4 or 5 individual shots that sealed your fate. (Of course using that same math my 600 yard agg would be in the teens)
I had a huge lead after the first half. But my next 4 targets were all 4 +1's
Why - probably lack of practice and lack of concentration. The final target i shot really well - but i changed my focus - slowed down a little - and made a conscious effort to shoot a really good group. In other words - i quit trying to shoot as fast and see slight movement in the flags. Instead, since I haven't shot much over the last few months, i switched to concentrating on --
notice the flags, slow down and make 5 good shots using good technique.
To his credit - Dave Rabin was doing that for the last five targets not just one.

Thanks, Scott.
My design is based off the old 7x42 cartridge that can be formed from .284 brass which Lapua makes. I believe Lapua's 6.5-284 brass would make the best parent cartridge. My intention was to have a case capacity somewhere between a 6BR and a 6x47 Lapua. I was actually thinking of making a deer rifle out of it before taking the plunge into a 600yrd rig.

I have one
I have been shooting for a couple of years and it is a very good chambering. It has been my best rifle this year out of the 4 I have been working with. The finished case is 1.650" and is the minimum HBR capacity plus a bit. I use Winchester cases and they are very good. I have not lost one primer pocket in the several hundred cases I have made up for it. I use a forming die I bought from Niel Jones which requires about 8 steps to make the cases. There is someone else who makes a less expensive forming die, by hundreds of dollars as I recallhowever, my die becomes a Full Length die with the proper sized neck bushing in it.
