[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 977706, member: 41442"] certainly not combatant about it. Ive got guns in MANY differnt caliber both rifle and handgun. Youll find me switching guns sometimes every day. Seems that you are trying to prove something here not me. I guess sometimes i tire with people trying to make a gun what it isnt. I see all the time on these threads where someone claims his 308 is everything an 06 is or his 06 is everything a 300 win mag is and that a 300 win will do everything a 300 wby will and the wby will do what the altra will. Bottom line is case capasity will give velocity. Fact of life. More powder more speed. Smaller cases are more effiecent no doubt but if thats the only criteria in picking a round wed all be using 22 hornets or still using 3030s. I dont believe theres any magic in the shape of a cartridge. At least not that is measurable in performance in the field. . Be it a wby, ackeley, short mag, long mag ect.
