[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1224953, member: 33822"] The Nosler manual lists it at 87.5 grains of water, while the 300 win mag holds about 80 grains of water +/- depending on the manufacturer. So it's very close to the win mag case capacity but has a few advantages over the win mag case. One of them being a fatter powder column that arguably has a little more consistent ignition with more powder exposed to the primer flash. Another advantage is the Nosler brass is 2.556" long compared to 2.620 for the win mag, so better chance you'll be able to fit loads in the magazine box. I also think the 30 Nosler can be managed without a brake if a guy has a no-brake requirement. And barrel life will still be very good. Big picture I really like the ability to push a big 210 grain bullet to 3000 fps. That makes for a very flat trajectory with a high BC bullet. [/QUOTE]
