[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 981285, member: 1521"] The 6PPC is an underbore with advantage going to small chamber area. This, combined with mid-weight BR bullets, allows extreme pressure loads with excellent fast powders(like N133) out of short stiff barrels at slow twist. This combination is what allows performance from a 6PPC that's so easy a caveman could do it. But nothing about it applies to distant shooting needs, because nothing about it is viable in larger area cartridges with high BC bullets. Probably the largest current underbore with POTENTIAL for internal ballistics of a 6PPC is the 6.5x47L (a mid-range cartridge by design). I know of no cartridge/build for 1kyd that can routinely push +75Kpsi loads with bullets that are competitive there(heavy for cal). So while there are a few cartridges that will eventually dominate as best overall at 1kyd, I doubt we'll ever have a 1kyd 6PPC. [/QUOTE]
