[QUOTE="Ragnarnar, post: 1271539, member: 98218"] I thought about your point for awhile and it was beginning to make sense to me, but I reread it and you've confused me again. How is putting X amount of powder in a short fat case, igniting it all at once and getting Y velocity from a shorter barrel less effective and efficient than putting the same X powder in a long skinny case and needing a longer barrel to get the same Y velocity? By way of another example a 6BRX which is a short fat case can sling a 105 Berger at 3030fps with 33 grains of powder. A 6X47 lapua which is thinner can hit 3100 with the same bullet but takes an extra 6-7 grains of powder. How can a difference in performance that big be accounted for if not something to do with the shape of the powder? Also I've had issues with reliable feeding on NS only cases. I don't think I'd trust them personally for hunting. [/QUOTE]
