[QUOTE="NBK, post: 1282106, member: 100140"] My knowledge has no basis, more reliable, than my own meandering experience. The 300 WM is a 54-year-old cartridge that has and will serve the shooting pubic well. It would be boring though, to say it is the end all for the .30 caliber magnum class. The idea of companies developing "different colored bags" keeps the industry moving forward. It also affords the reloading community a different view into cartridge performance. And most importantly, it entertains dorks like me! :) It may be naive to discount the efficiency, size and performance of the 30 Nosler. As noted, the 300 WM can run heavy bullets in a standard action with a 26" barrel @ 3000 fps - but does so at the edge of its limits where the Nosler doesn't seem to work quite as hard to meet the same criteria. So they both get the job done. Pick your poison. Here is something to chew on. While in NM on our last hunt at a 5500 foot elevation (47º), the 30 Noslers were shooting the 215 Berger 5.4 mils @ 1K (100 yard zero). Do the math on that... Lonewolf74 - Yes, the throat dims are different on the reamer used. This was done to take advantage of the extra magazine space the 30 Nosler provides. We also experienced consistent SD's as low as 5 fps with this configuration. JP thought this through during the project spec. The cartridge and rifles are performing exactly how we anticipated.
