Hi there
Some of you promoted the 7mm-08 in a recent thread about a BLR project.
Reading your comments, I made some research about 7mm-08 performance and found interesting data comparing 7mm-08 hand loaded with 270, 30-06 and 300 winnie factory load, illustrating impressive trajectory (equal to . 300 Winnie at 300 yards) and downrange energy (better thab old 'O6 and 270 at 400 yards) for the 7mm-08 using 140 to 160 grains bullets.
But those datas were coming from 22 inches barrel tests.
I recently found a second hand 7mm08 for sale but the barrel is a 18.5 inches one (and the BLR has a 20 inches barrel).
How do you think the 7-08 is able to fit so short barrel ? Any speed records from short barrels in 7-08 ?
