[QUOTE="Akmtnrunner, post: 2240648, member: 92526"] The Nosler cases get shorter as the caliber increases to make room for the longer lengths of the larger bullets. 0.1-0.2” shorter case means a lot for bullet room but not a ton of lost velocity. True, the spec’d freebore could have been better. Still, if meaningfully more velocity is sought or ultra high BC and heavy bullets are wanted, there is the Norma, RUM, Weatherby, and Lapua, etc. I think the sweet spot of the Nosler 33 is for 225-265 gr bullets at simply good hunting velocities. As the case is, it’s still reasonable in a rifle to be carried all day. [/QUOTE]
