I don't understand why people use a "magnum" cartridge chambering in a shorter barrelled rifle. instead of a cartridge chambering designed to burn off the powder in the appropriate barrel length.
There are plenty of factory rifles that use a cartridge that cannot burn all its powder in the given barrel length...the very popular (at least up in northwest bear country) Sako .375 H&H "Mannlicher" carbine comes to mind. Not every stutzen rifle needs to be in 6.5x54...handiness often trumps "appropriate barrel length." Maximum ballistic efficiency is only part of the rifle equation.
