[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2891317, member: 126985"] Then why post it as a 308 in an improving the 308 thread? That's number 1....Number 2 is I own a modified 300 RUM to feed 4.00" cartridges...the 300 PRC can not reach the 3250 fps required... and I was at 3150 fps with the 300 RUM and 208 grs was maxed out. You might with a 30" to 32" barreled, throated 300 RUM, get the 3250 fps needed, to get those numbers claimed...if the numbers change, the cartridge changes, the claim charges...its false. The whole story is BS and outside the parameters of the discussion . If 195 gr fired at 3050 or 3100 fps from a PRC or RUM dropping it to most likely a 800 yd elk cartridge at best, no matter the case it was fired in. The parameters of 2000 fps and 1500 ft/lbs for adequate bullet performance only make a about 200 yd difference for most of the big magnums, if that. [/QUOTE]
