[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 795680, member: 9281"] [I]3000fps is obtainable with a 24" barrel and 4 reloads per case. It will run the same 3150fps from a 28" barrel that a rum will, yes pressure will be higher but ironically barrel life will be also.[/I] Really? That's a little optimistic for a 24" barrel don't you think? I would say 2875fps is more realistic. And to say the Wby is equal to the RUM apples to apples? This has not been my personal experience or anyone else that I know of when comparing apples to apples. Mine was a rechamber job from 300 Wby to 300RUM using the same barrel. There was 145fps increase in velocity running similar chamber pressures out of 27". The wby chambering could push the 210 at 2975fps max load and the RUM at 3120fps max load. Again, same barrel.
