[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 1947764, member: 103947"] Let's look at the 7mm mag. It pushes the 162 around 2950 fps with over 60 grains of powder. My 284 pushes the same bullet 3000 fps with 53 grains. Different powders if course BUT the don't run the same powders for the best performance. H1000 in the 7mag vs RL17 in the 284. Both top powders for the cartridge. Over 12 grains more powder in the 7mag. I do not shoot the 7mag as the 284 replaced it. Call it efficiency or plain old common sense. Less recoil, less powder, less cost for equal or better performance. I'm not trying to dispute a word, just stating some cartridges do better with equal or less powder and same bullet weight. BC plays a huge part as well. Obviously why the 6.5/7s are at the top of the list. [/QUOTE]
