[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 166486, member: 10"] There is not alot of information out there on my 300 AX, the reason is because I just finished fully testing the round. There are roughly a dozen on order that will be heading out the door probably late this winter and spring but right now I have the only two 300 AX rifles out there, one a 32" barreled heavy rifle and the other a lightweight 27" packing rifle. I hate to disagree with JP475 and Davewilson but in this case they are flat out wrong. Yes there is the fireforming step if you form your own 300 AX rounds but as far as performance, it will simply smoke the RUM out of same length barrels and same bullet weights. The standard 30 Lapua will match or slightly out perform the 300 RUM but the 300 AX will add roughly 100 to 150 fps over what the RUM will offer and do so with dramatically longer case life. The 300 AX will easily match and even exceed the 30-378 in 26 to 30" barrel length simply because the Lapua brass can handle MUCH higher chamber pressures then the Norma made Wby case and do so with nearly 10 grains less powder. So while generally I will agree with you two boys, your wrong on this one, the 300 RUM will not match the 300 AX in fact the 300 AX will offer you as much performance over the RUM as the RUM will offer over the Win Mag. In my testing, you can gain substantial performance over the RUM and do so with longer case life. Am I running higher chamber pressures, YOU BET, thats the entire point behind using the Lapua case. Again, with all due respect, your wrong on this one..... Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
