[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2936871, member: 116181"] There's only so much pressure you can put into the chamber before you make a bomb, and an overbore cartridge certified at high pressure is hard to beat. 204 Ruger is already specified 2500psi higher than the parent case (222 Rem Mag) and hits 4400 FPS out of the box. Only marginal gains to be made there unless you push pressure hard. The particular chambering you mentioned is not a hundred year old design like the 30-06 where in a modern rifle you can safely load past the 50k spec that factory ammo is limited to and see some big gains. Same logic applies to 6.5CM vs 260 Rem - 2000psi more for the newer design so factory ammo should push slightly faster when both are limited to spec. But a handloader can push a 260 Rem faster. Nosler got the 26 Nosler specified at 65k, not as much room to work with there. So on and so on. [/QUOTE]
