[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 30437, member: 34"] Len As I mentioned before in another post. Depending on the lot of brass, I have had an increase of 6 grains of capacity over the standard 300 RUM case when going to the Tomahawk. The sharper shoulder of the Tomahawk also decreases overall case stretching when fired which is an advantage. To me, it's worth going to the Tomahawk over the standard case and it doesn't take much to fireform it either. If the new brass is really brass instead of nickle plated, it will be a bit of an improvement. The new lots of Remington brass seems to be better then the older stuff. I shoot up to 104 grs, 106 grs, and 108 grs of powder in the 300 Tomahawk depending on the bullets fired. I may go with a 7MM Tomahawk to see what it will do? I do want a longer barrel if I go that route though. Later DC [ 02-21-2004: Message edited by: Darryl Cassel ] [/QUOTE]
