It'd be like putting a throttle regulator on a Ferrari to make it slower than a Camry. But, if the Ferrari is just going to be used for trips to Safeway, I must concede the point. smile

I'm really resisting the urge to toss up a chart showing just how bad the 140 AF does in this regard. Must... not...post...gack...chart.... grin


No Jeff! Not the chart! I know it takes a licking in that regard....but I'll bet it kills smile




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
