This has been an entertaining thread.

Bob, just a question.

The advantage of short action vs long action is subjective and reasonable minds can differ.

The real world "advantage" of an extra 100ish fps or so, with similar Bullets , is also subjective.

But are you really contending that an extra 15-20% case capacity doesn't give a cartridge more ballistic potential?

PS. IMO, . Dispensing with the name calling would enhance your credibility.
