[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1300246"] ELR Researcher, There is truth in what you are saying. (Moved my reply over here to avoid "conflicts"). We have CheyTac sized actions. We have BMG sized actions. Something between, not so much. Something bigger, not so much. If you are at the CheyTac (505 Gibbs) sized case and action the only thing that can be done to get more cubic inches is to go long. If you are at the BMG size again there is only going longer to get the horse power. However, some of us believe that the shape of the BMG case does not suit ELR. The capacity is there. Changing the shape of the powder column seems a way to go and I don't mean just applying Ackley style reshaping. More along the lines of drawing the case out a bit more and reducing the diameter. Net capacity will remain nearly the same. Lowered a bit for the .416 or .458 high BC projectiles and available powders. Long term the Bat Machine Model EX looks the ticket for the BMG, and derivatives. You probably know more BMG sized actions than I do. [/QUOTE]
