[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1257373"] I have lots and lots of 30 caliber magnum chambered rifles. I don't have any 230grain Bergers (AFAIK) and I've been out of H1000 for quite some time. however I am very skeptical of over 3k fps for 230s in a 300WM or a 300Weatherby or 300Wby Improved (any version), barely with a 300 RUM and difficult even with a 30-378Weatherby or 30-338LapuaMagnum. It's just too small a hole to develop a pressure release model that gets the projectile going before internal pressures exceed safe limits. Funny thing about internal ballistics. Take a 230grain 338 bullet in almost any of those chamberings and 3k is easy. 338-300WM 2330grain 28" barrel, easy peasy. From there up of course no issue. [/QUOTE]
