A longer look at short magnums
Article Abstract:
The combination of short action length and efficient powder burning enable the shortfat magnum rifles to offer magnum power, but they are far shorter, lighter and handier than standard magnum rifles. Reloading the shortfats is easy with the use of standard-rifle primers, slow-burning powders like Reloder 22 and Hodgdon H4831.
