[QUOTE="DUCKMAN11, post: 2599546, member: 122313"] The same thing could be said for the 7prc vs 7rem mag. Stuff a 180+ in a 7rem mag and load to 3.4" and you got a bullet eating up case capacity...not much but some. Throw a 197 in the same rifle and case and assuming you got enough twist then you got a bullet taking up a little more case capacity. Efficiency is one thing and it is real. But I think the PRC's win out in "effectiveness" before efficiency should be argued. They effectively hold long high BC bullets better than the cartridge they were trying to "replace". That doesn't mean I'm going to try to convince my dad to sell his 7mag for a 7prc or that I'm going to sell off either of my 300win mags. But if I want to launch 230 Atips I'm gonna grab my 300prc.
