[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1791273, member: 78438"] I think you got it right. Who would have thought you could drive a 1 ton crew cab truck at nearly 500hp and close to 1000ft/lbs of torque and get 20 mpg driving 70mph down the highway, and ride like a Cadillac did 30 years ago? It's bound to happen, technology advances in pretty much every platform you can imagine. Pressure is the biggest hold back in really leaping forward with rifle technology. Not much has changed in while. There has been some great advances, but the concept and limits have remained for several decades. People thought that smokeless powder pressures were crazy when they first came out, who knows maybe maybe 80k is the next norm. It's not like having 60k right in front of your face isn't scary if you think about it, we're just used to it. I'd love to lop 6" off of every rifle I own and keep still keep the velocity. [/QUOTE]
