[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1038599, member: 12995"] The only flaws I can see with the .300 H&H are the 16* shoulder and heavy wall taper. However, those were specifically designed that way because at the time of its inception, the main propellent was Cordite. Which is a dry spaghetti-looking stick propellant (they used to cut it to length to fill the case) and they needed the low shoulder angle and heavy taper to fit as much in there to properly propel the bullet. With the introduction of modern powder, the new calibers that developed from those old antiquated cases (.300 WinMag, 7mm RemMag, 7mm STW, the Weatherby Magnums, 8mm RemMag, etc...) have much sharper shoulder angles and really light wall tapers that build extreme pressures to push the bullets at super high velocities that were once thought impossible. I was just explaining to why the older calibers have become obsolete, to help elaborate on what Rose was saying. [/QUOTE]
