[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1778367, member: 26535"] I am a little confused about your question, you are basically describing the Nosler family of cartridges. Very little if anything will be gained by shortening the 28 and 30 the very little to get the the exact 2.5" and as pointed out the 33 is already a little under. As far as loss it really depends on bullet weights. Large overbore cartridges really need heavy for caliber bullets to realize the cartridge potential. I personally don't feel there are big enough bullets in 7mm for this which is why the 28 Nosler shines and cartridges like the 7-300 Win will almost match the 28 with a lot less powder. The 300 Rum is almost in the same boat but can start to distance itself from the 30 Nosler with 230s and the newer 245 and 250 bullets will widen the gap but then you are limited by several other factors unless you are ok with a single shot.
