[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2728913, member: 95013"] 7 mag is overbore? Not to us, as overbore is a misnomer based on comparisons to 30-40 year old calibers/cases to what we shoot today. What was classified as magnum 30 years ago is now normal in our vernacular and in our shooting. There is a choice. Run 223 or 30-06 and get performance that will last 3000+ rounds or run faster and harder to get 1500 rounds of bbl life. Same thing with fast cars like nascar and F1 - run fast and get 1-3 races out of an engine versus 150,000 miles on an SUV. IME and IMO based on that experience - there is an ideal ratio of powder to bullet size that has been proven in our testing to produce excellent hunting loads and killing attributes out past 1000 yards in most modern calibers. We have tested about 40 different calibers to prove our theory. We are focused on hunting loads and our ethics of hitting an animal as hard and fast as we can. No matter the placement, we prefer to ensure the most damage and the cleanest ethical kill possible so we run hunting rifles fast and hard. Hence 7mm/300 PRC that is ideal and much better than the big manufacturer short case. I built this rifle 5 years ago - have more than 400 rounds through it and bore scope tell me I have tons of life left. Even bbl life is only 800 rounds, that is 10 - 12 years or bbl life which I am very comfortable with. [/QUOTE]
