[QUOTE="JayIdaho, post: 174263, member: 2379"] [b]There may be a reason for the misunderstanding,[/b] A year or two ago, there was a big outrage over the fact that a gun rag writer had patented the design of the "300 Winchester Short Magnum". Some felt that it contributed to the downfall of Winchester firearms manufacturing in the US. There were court actions and payments from a gun manufacturer to the magazine writer. Many people felt that the manufacturer should have resisted more strongly in the court system. The whole thing was ridiculous but that happens with patents, I guess. The 300 Ultra Mag is so close to the 300 Black Mesa, 300 Dakota or 300 Imperial (300 Canadian) and my own 30-404 Jeffrey Imp. that you couldn't tell the difference without looking at the headstamp or using a caliper. I've heard of no court action from any of the above ammo manufacturers or cartridge developers. [/QUOTE]
