I heard once that when the powder weight equals or is greater than the bullet weight then its overbore????

I think Overbore is what ever ya make it to be....

Personally I don't consider the 17 Rem OB nor would I with the 17 Rem Imp but then 25 gr bullets are the lightest I shoot in it and always thought the 30 Golds would be just right....

FWIW my Weaver 17-222 shoots the 25 V-max at 4100 fps with 22.5 grs of powder as a top end PD load pretty accurately so for me the larger case seems to be made for the 30s and the slow burning powder I wish to shoot in it needs a tad more space (I think)
