More case capacity equals more speed?

OP xtriangle Campfire Member X Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 492 Carlsbad NM	Thanks for the kind words all. I am running 80 grain Berger VLD's in it right now with Retumbo, they are running 3500 fps and I am not pushing it at all. I have a Zeiss 4.5x14x40 on it right now and a Zeiss 6x20x50 on the way! Hopefully a couple of coyotes will get in the way of a Berger this weekend and then maybe a nice Big ole Mulie this fall. I wish I had some 75 A-Maxes????????? Anyone have a couple thousand they want to get rid of?????? How can I tell you bye if you wont leave?

If the accuracy is as good as the Bergers I will move up if not I am happy with 80's at 3500 How can I tell you bye if you wont leave?

If not no big deal my next one will get there.......Plan is to build a slow twist 6-284 and run 55 grain Noslers really fast. Man this crap is addicting How can I tell you bye if you wont leave?

I could enjoy the performance of running fast high bc 22 slugs with low recoil. Not run #'s, but how would it compare to say 105s in a 243 fast twist? I would reckon deer n hog would easily be on the menu assuming shot placement.
