[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 635188, member: 30671"] An awful lot of variables I agree, barrel length (dimensions) being one. I picked up my Barnes #3 manual, and reviewed the 30 magnums listed, and picked just the 200 grain bullet as that's what I would use and looked only at top velocity. 308 Norma 26" barrel 2941 fps, 300 H&H 24" barrel 2933 fps, 300WSM 24" barrel 2863 fps, 300 Winchester 24" barrel 2908 fps, 300 Weatherby 24" barrel 2934 fps, 300 Dakota 24" barrel 3018, 300 RUM 26" barrel 3134 fps (only 1 load cracked 3000 fps), 30-378 Weatherby 26" barrel 3137 fps. I can't recall which old manual (Speer I think) the 300 H&H gave the highest velocities of the magnums. It was also the only one with a 26" tube. In these standard barrel length rifles The H&H comes within 1fps of the Weatherby cut the RUM and 30-378 to 24" and watch that margin narrow. Lot's of factors in play, and I picked the facts to shape the argument my way, but 1 fps behind the Weatherby, and actually beats the Winchester by 24 fps. A little close for impossible and never happen. [/QUOTE]
