[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1793419, member: 5302"] Why would a British company introduce a cartridge (H & H Super 30) in 1925 for long range matches that's not allowed by their rules? Only the 303 British cartridge was allowed in the Commonwealth until the late 1960's. The USA version, 300 H & H Magnum, was first used in USA competition in 1935 setting a 1000 yard record that stood until 1970 when a friend broke it with a 7mm Rem Mag. Note the USA 800 to 1000 yard target ring sizes stayed the same from the late 1800's to the early 1970's. The USA team in the late 1800's used 44 caliber Remington or Sharps rifles with 100 grains of powder under 510 grain bullets. Then the 30-40 Krag followed by the 30-06. [/QUOTE]
