[QUOTE="DUCKMAN11, post: 3095582, member: 122313"] There is actually a replacement for displacement. It's called efficiency! Bullet weight and powder burn rate and barrel bore volume all come into play. There is such thing as too much of a good thing and it's called 25stw or 7rum. The performance numbers don't outweigh the cost to get there...... for me at least. I'm not looking for 25stw cost of ownership just to have the performance. I'm also not looking for 30br performance just to have a 5k round barrel life either. I think a well designed cartridge with a 40° shoulder and 70-80gr of h20 capacity is at the top of the sweet spot for a 257cal. Anything more than that and you start dancing around the "law of diminishing returns". [/QUOTE]
