[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 635203, member: 10291"] I believe that Bart B's comment of "impossible" is technically accurate. You can't argue with the physics of the case capacity differences between the H&H, 300 Weatherby and 300 RUM of + 10%. I am always suspect of reloading manual data, and would not buy arguments built on this information, particularly with the 200gr.+ bullets. Choice of seating depth can make a big difference in the results. Having said that, I have thought about building a LR rig using the 300 H&H for use with 200+ grain bullets. The design does allow you to seat the long bullets out further without having the proportional impact on powder volume. Because of the long case, and the long neck of the 300 H&H you could make up a lot of the velocity difference between these cartridges using a lot less powder giving less recoil, longer barrel life, and great accuracy. It could very well be the most efficient cartridge of the lot using high BC bullets, but this would have to be proven out. I have considered trying this since I have a Pre 64 Model 70 in a magnum action 300H&H but could not bring myself to to do it because of it's excellent condition. [/QUOTE]
