Reply to post #77 I must have missed this one before. I assume when you wrote this there was a heavy smell of marijuana in the room. Look at my first and second postings both referring to the efficiency not velocity being higher. Throghout the posting I always say equal with less powder my tune has not changed one bit. The funny thing is when did you feelthe velocity advantage was proven for the 7mm anyway I missed that completely. You have shown lighter bullets going faster but I always pointed out the energy levels where higher for the 06 in your comparisons. As far as the 30%more powder that is correct. When you compare powder charges the 06 is approx max at 64 and the 7 MM at 82.5. 64 x 1.3 = 83.2 that is 29% more to be exact. As far as your "sources of evidence"Perry Masonthat the 7 MM velocities are higher.All those manuals as you know were for non coated bullets.Its apples and oranges the manuals are suppost to be different that is what I would expect. Correct??? Does it skew the numbers toward the 06 yes, but that is what is commercially available and that is that. As far handloading experience that is what would fall back on if I were getting pummled with logic also. It is amazing to me how distorted your perception of this discussion is. I have pummled you with logic from the get go but in your mind you are "proving me wrong" I would like a few bullet points on where I was wrong.
PS: Still have not seen that BC for the 170 grain Noma that you felt was unfair.
