[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 333340, member: 13833"] I agree that manufacturers were probably trying to get pressures down. Unless a person handloads,however; they have defeated the purpose of the high velocity that sells the cartridge in the first place. The upside of course is that even higher velocity can be achieved for the handloader by loading back up to original pressure. This is of course due to increasing volume before the bullet engages the lands. I once read an article written by "an expert" that stated the 6.5-06 A.I. actually produced LESS velocity than a standard 6.5-06. He was loading the two with the identical load. DUH! Same principal, he had more volume which created less pressure and of course lower velocity. Hopefully someone will start designing magazines that correspond with throating. A lot of us end up shooting our bolts as single shots:D:D...Rich [/QUOTE]
