I've owned several 22" barreled magnum rifles and there isn't enough difference in the ballistics to ever notice in the field--and they have all still produced "magnum" ballistics.
Very true and yet many will Improve a 280 Rem case, increase their pressures to over 65k, and go to a longer barrel to "TRY" and mimic a 7mm Rem mag.
7mm Rem Mag with a 22" barrel.
VS
280 Imp with a 24" or 26" barrel.
Seems the increase in hull size is the most easy way to go.
Ackley fans always come up short on that deal.
