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.

My comment still stands and the logic. For examplea stutzen or carbine stocked and short barrelled 9.3x62 is a better choice than the same in .375 H&H or 9.3x64. A 9.3x57 and 9.5x57 as wekk, A .308 or even a .30-06 than a .300 Magnum. A 8x57 rather than a 8x68S.

JMO and logic. On the original commissioners of custom rifles or factory choices.
