[QUOTE="JTH, post: 2069767, member: 59647"] This rifle would fill a gap in my safe between a 300 wm and a 6.5 cm. Haven’t been able to find much data on the short barrel velocity issue other than standard guidance of 25-50 FPS velocity loss per inch of barrel removed. In my 24” 300 wm, I’m currently running the absolute hammer 178 grain at about 3230 FPS, no signs of pressure so it has the potential to go higher. For this build, I’m hoping to find a cartridge that I can push a 7mm 172 or 177 grain hammer above 3000 FPS. Which cartridge has the greatest potential to get me there? [/QUOTE]
