[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1576901, member: 70559"] I've been thinking there is probably a best compromise where the caliber/barrel length/velocity come together for a light woods/sage rifle. But thinking there is that compromise and having any idea what it is is worlds apart for me. If one is trying to come up with the best combo for shortest barrel for lightness and longest barrel for velocity, what is the magical caliber? Bigger bore could get a heavier bullet going pretty fast in a short barrel. But it might suffer with a poor ballistic coefficient. A smaller diameter might be better. With computer programs, or some cleaver brains working, perhaps someone could help me out here. What action? What case? What caliber? [/QUOTE]
