[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 1018985, member: 23486"] More capacity mean more fuel, the more fuel you can (efficiently) burn, the more power that is generated. You should be running the same pressure peak, just more push behind it with the extra powder. With the Ackley shoulder, you're spot on. Brass will not stretch as much as a conventional cartridge; Ackley got it right with that design. Just food for thought, after running a handful of Ackley cartridges. By design, Ackley cartridges are capable of masking pressure issues until you're well above the "normal" range. While i'm in no way saying you're over pressure I wanted to drop that tid bit as it's something to look out for. In all honesty, I don't like the RUM in a 26" barrel. With that being said, it will still outrun the WBY or the Win mag in a 26" tube running the same pressure. As the barrel length extends, you will see the RUM pull away even further. In my opinion, there really is no replacement for displacement. I believe this becomes even more prevalent when the bore diameter goes down i.e. 7RUM. I feel you'd have to go +28" (30" would be better) to see the advantage offered by the increased powder capacity. Just not enough are in that little bore to burn all that powder, IMHO. It's really up to the end user to decide if it's worth it in the long run. Can you get more velocity out of the RUM (7mm or 30cal)? Yes. How much? & at what cost? That is the $64k question. t [/QUOTE]
