[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1972895, member: 78438"] JE's explanation of this is part of the reason why some people think shorter cartridges are more efficient. I'm not saying they are or aren't. But when comparing a 7mm wsm to a 7mm rem mag, and comparing velocity to powder charge in relation to barrel length, this is usually overlooked. The wsm appears to have a slight advantage in efficiency, (this argument could be made for several cartridges") but if you really want to compare efficiency, this has to be taken into consideration.
