[QUOTE="7mm man, post: 3097742, member: 127559"] I think the short mags have benefitted by some new powders since the early 2000s when they were introduced. With a powder like Retumbo you can squeeze an extra 50-100 fps where we were back then. But if you shoot those long high BC bullets you will run out of COL quick. I open the R700 actions up a bit to maximize my COL and take advantage of another 1/8" or so. Personally I love both, but Shorts is where it's at. You never know exactly how much you will like it until you try it, even in an AR. [/QUOTE]
