[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 700236, member: 30671"] The old manuals found much the same. I can't recall the number, but it was a Speer manual back in the late 60's early 70's that first piqued my interest in the 300 H&H when they posted better velocities than the 300 Weatherby. My first chronograph established 2900+ fps using 200 grain bullets isn't due to new components. The Handloader comparison was good as it tried to make as apples to apples as possible. In 26" barrels differences in brass may be the deciding factor. In longer barrels with heavier bullets case capacity may pay off more visibly, I can't say I don't have experience with those. I would lean away these days from the 300 H&H, brass got scarce then Nosler wants more $$$$ for 25 than 50 of the 300 RUM. Have not bought any lately that may have changed. My choice of the 300 Win is based on component availability, due to world wide acceptance. [/QUOTE]
