Compare? I'm not sure as I have never ran the 6.5 SAUM... Like I stated in the video there is a bit of "work" involved, and it was fun... With the info and credentials I have gotten from many others who have ran both, the benefits of the 6.5 SS are a more efficient cartridge, longer barrel life, and the ability to cycle long bullets through a standard action... The case developer gets over 3100 fps using 160's in a 26" barrel, and 3200+ with 150's... Personally I'm getting over 3K with the 139's and a 22" barrel, with 61 grains of H1000 which is a compressed load.
