[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 850059, member: 30902"] No 100fps is not worth it. With the high bc bullets we have today that 100fps gain but 500rds less barrel life won't gain you anything appreciable down range. There is a point of diminishing returns when it comes to stacking more powder in a bigger case for the sake of more speed. With the 7's you reach that point with the 7mm STW case. Beyond that the minimal gain simply isn't worth the additional cost. Run it through any ballistics program you like and you'll see that 100fps at the muzzle is costing way too much for a very minimal gain. [/QUOTE]
