[QUOTE="Snowman, post: 754765, member: 55952"] The marketing ploy that the short fat case somehow burns powder "more efficiently"is comming unraveled. Like PO Ackley and other proved years ago ,if you put 70 grs of powder in two differently shaped cases of the same capacity you will get the same velocity (or very close). It sold a few guns but I think you are going to see a lot of new gun buyers go back to the 7mm Rem and the 300 Win because performance is on par with the short mags and ammo is availible everywhere at 1/2 to 2/3 the price of the short mags. If you have a short mag and are happy with it, Great ! I suggest you take in a supply of ammo or brass because 5-10 years from now you may have trouble finding it.lightbulb [/QUOTE]
