Not even worth the [bleep] effort...


16 Sure.....advantage is small.

Point being it isn't worth chasing it in the little case just to show you can reach velocities with it that you won't see anywhere else credible.(pressure tested). You aren't breaking any new ground or proving a thing....just stuffing more powder in and it doesn't take any brains to do that.

If we want it,then we can have it.....just buy a bigger cartridge. smile

Of course this may require compromises like a longer or fatter case,a slightly heavier rifle, etc. Part of the game.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
