[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2882737, member: 95013"] IMO - the limit is case size and action length. Longer bullets are not optimally designed to run in a short action. If we are talking about a factory reamer, in a short action with the longer 175gr and above bullets everyone wants to run, you have to shove the bullet so far down into the case to fit the stock mag, that you are losing powder capacity. Which then we end up back with WSM and old Rem Mag velocities. Run a Med action with a med length mag, and now we are changing the game - the bullet can be seated optimized to the chamber and case so we can maximize capacity. New powders help, faster twist only helps bullet stabilization out of a shorter barrel not velocity. Again, save weight with a 22 or 24" #2 contour which, ewwwww LOL To me, everyone is chasing lighter rifles which is not my thing. Hornady is chasing more sales, fine. If you don't have a 7mm and want something you can load for AND find factory ammo almost everywhere, great. Get one. [/QUOTE]
