[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1373238, member: 12995"] You're 100% right. The case capacity to bore ratio allows it to reach full-potential in shorter length barrels, but still allow it to get plenty of gains in longer barrels, as well. The 7mm-08 Rem gives it a good run for its money, and is often overlooked these days, especially with the fairly recent introduction of 1:8 twist barrels and 195 grain Bergers. A 20" (from lug to crown) heavy barreled 7mm-08 would also make a great compact rifle. Both cartridges will perform admirably in short barrels, and Lapua makes correct headstamp brass for both. It would be hard to go wrong with either. [/QUOTE]
