[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2734889, member: 106514"] I've been a proponent of this cartridge (the parent) since its introduction. Admittedly, however, I see a pattern. The 6.5 is ALMOST equal to the .264 Win Mag, the .338 is ALMOST equal to a .338 Win Mag, and a 7mm would be ALMOST equal to a 7mm Rem Mag. A .30 would be between a .300 SAUM/RCM and a .300 WSM in power (very narrow window), but nowhere near the .300 Win Mag. IMHO, the parent case's best use would be to either neck to calibers where it could really fill a niche, like .257 or .35 OR it needs improving to take some of that insane amount of taper out. The latter seems more likely. You can increase this thing's capacity by a full 4 or 5 grains if you improved it to the max. It would then approximately equal the new 7mm PRC. And for Heaven's sake, would SOMEBODY put a barrel of AT LEAST 26" on this thing to properly burn the slow powders it requires! It's like buying a Ferrari and filling it with regular gas! [/QUOTE]
