Although I have reloaded for about 20 years now, it has always been for the same two guns, a 7mm Mag and a .270 Win so it would be fair to say that my experience is limited. I now have sold the old guns and bought new ones. The two guns in question are a 22-250 in a Savage 12FVSS - bull stainless barrel (26" long). Another is a Ruger M77 Compact in 7mm-08. I see by balistics tables that H380 appears to be a good powder for both. My question is, can that still be so if my Savage 22-250 has a 26" barrel and the 7mm-08 Compact only has a 16 1/2" barrel. Would the 7mm-08 not benefit from a faster burning powder with such a short barrel??? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
