[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1678024, member: 109113"] I'll second that, Sir. These newer powders are giving us about a 100-150 fps turbo-boost in the old favorite cartridges, and it [I]does[/I] make a difference. That, and using a high-BC bullet kinda puts the 30-06 class of cartridges into the next performance level. I've noticed that a lot more guys are using "full-length" barrels these days, which is how you maximize that performance boost. That helps a lot with the older powders, too - but the new slow-burners benefit more from using a longer barrel. I've never understood the thinking behind putting a 22" barrel on a 270 or 7mm magnum, but that practice is being pushed aside. I think this is mostly due to the increase in popularity of long range shooting, both for target work and hunting. We can also thank that trend for all the advances in handloading and in optics. It's all GOOD STUFF. [/QUOTE]
