[QUOTE="Jtgraham01, post: 2678608, member: 92600"] I probably need to just go search for it, but has anyone done a definitive test with the same cartridge and projectile and comparing short vs long action speeds with comparable loading? In both you would want to load close to lands while using the longest OAL possible while still maintaining neck contact with projectile. For example, I’m using a 7 WSM in impact action and hawkins hunter magazine at about 2.91” OAL. I’m getting 2875 fps very easily with 175 ABLR and RL26 on a 24” barrel. Pretty sure I can hit mid 2900s without an issue but I don’t want to inflate my numbers. For the sake of conversation, if I rebuilt it with a long action what would I expect as a FPS gain here by adding powder capacity and OAL? [/QUOTE]
