[QUOTE="WiscGunner, post: 1541631, member: 97288"] I would imagine that has a bit to do with the 175 .284 bullet being longer than the 175 .308 bullet and intruding into the powder capacity. This is the whole point of the Sherman Short Magnum cartridges...reducing this intrusion into powder capacity so the higher BC bullets can be seated properly when run at true short action length. I didn't look hard but for a comparison here are 150gr bullets from Hornady in the .308 and 7mm. Obviously the 175gr bullets would seat even deeper into the powder capacity of the 7-08 while the 308 with 150gr has a bit a spare room yet to give to bullet space. 7-08 with 150gr ELD-X [ATTACH=full]116328[/ATTACH] 308 with 150gr SST [ATTACH=full]116329[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
