It's not really, but at least 2% more capacity than the 6.5X55 and 4% on a 260. It is however a very nice round based on the 7x57 Mauser. Now I guess it's time to consider the 7mm08 and the 7X57. I am certain that one is most certainly better than the other. Especially given modern bullets and powders. What the heck do I know, I have a 338 Federal and think it is great round for it's purpose. Then again the 338WM and the Weatherby will hold at least 1 cup more water.
