[QUOTE="DUCKMAN11, post: 2599540, member: 122313"] Not trying to completely derail this thread but..... where do you think that 225gr bullet goes when it's set in a 30noz case that's 0.010" longer than a 300prc case, to a COAL that's 0.100" shorter than your hypothetical 3.7" 300prc? Yes a 30noz has more case capacity than a 300prc. I agree with that 100%! But what are we talking about 90gr vs 96gr? So a 5% advantage goes to the 30noz? If you cram a long 225gr bullet into a 30noz case and make it either Saami COAL @ 3.340" OR a shorter COAL than a 300prc that bullet is sitting deeper in the case and eating up any meager 4-6gr case capacity advantage the 30noz had. Load any of the same bullet in both the 30noz and 300prc to where the base of the bullet does not sit deeper than the neck shoulder junction line and the 30noz will be faster hands down. Where the Saami 300prc excels over the Saami 30noz is being able to load long high BC bullets and not eat up case capacity. Yes you CAN long throat and Wyatt's box a 30noz to make it do more than a 300prc and that has been proven many times on the forum.... but myself and the vast majority of the shooting public CAN go buy an off the shelf rifle and load 300prc to CIP length at 3.850". The 30noz is great cartridge but hamstring'd itself out the gate by going with a 3.340" COAL. The 300prc holds long bullets better in "stock" form than the 30noz. [/QUOTE]
