[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 513094, member: 1521"] I'm not talking folklore. I'm suggesting that a better design brings you to fast enough powders to burn up -before bullet exit, yet allowing cartridge potential to actually be reached(without early pressure). A 6.5x47 in 26" barrel for example, would provide 26cal performance on a whole better scale to 500yd coyote/deer. It would do this with easily twice the barrel life AND accuracy, over a short-barreled 6.5x284. A 260AI would do it further than a 6.5x47 with a 28" barrel. A 6.5x284 extends even more in 30"+ barrels, and using the right powders(not H4350). As you go up in scale, barrel life drops, and balanced hunting gun bulk increases. So if the objective is a shorter/lighter/more accurate gun, then you wouldn't go larger in capacity than providing exactly what you need.. Well, I guess I'm assuming anyway that OP has a choice..
