John:

Nosler uses GB for bullet weights up to and including 140-grains in the 7mm-08, then switches to Hunter for anything heavier. In the 7x57 Hunter is used across all bullet weights. Any idea as to why Hunter was used for the lighter bullets instead of BG in the 7x57? Does it have anything to do with case capacity? BTW, have you ever written anything on the relationship between case capacity, bullet weights, and powder choices (i.e., burn rates, etc)?

Thanks, as always.

"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
