[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1915275, member: 30671"] Efficiency becomes for me, can similar velocities be achieved in a truly smaller package. If we are using the same action with only a bolt stop magazine, in a 9lb rifle for a .300H&H, and a .300WSM have we gained anything. You still end up with a 200 grain class bullet doing 2900 fps from a 26" barrel. I do think as we get into larger volume cases, driving lighter bullets, a shorter powder column will give us better ignitions. People I have a lot of respect for, doing a lot more work with chronographs than most of us, are seeing something to case shape/velocity [/QUOTE]
