Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

It would be better to use a cartridge with less capacity for a shorter barrel. A 7mm RM case would have too much volume to allow the use of a faster burning, denser powder. It isn't safe to use a powder that doesn't come somewhat close to filling the case because the loose powder atomizes in the big volume can burn all at once (detonate) instead of a relatively slow burn. That's why you generally don't use pistol powder in a long barreled gun. The 7mm-08 could be loaded with a faster powder and push the same bullets faster and also not have a mushroom cloud muzzle blast of unburnt powder.
Ok so now I’m buying a 7-08. Anybody selling?
20-22. Any shorter you’re burning 20% more powder to get 7-08 performance.
I’ve got a REM arms 700 in 7-08. Bought it on a whim. Shoots around an inch with factory ammo, 10-shots , no 3 shot got lucky cherry picked bullshit. 24” barrel matte finish. You can have it cut to 20 and threaded. I’ve got too many overlaps and need to thin the herd.
