[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1167243, member: 2460"] The new Nosler manual has plenty of data for the 30 Nosler and it's a step up from the 300 Win mag, Kind of a 300 Wby, 300 Ackley, 300 Jarret without the belt and maybe a bit faster, some loads come close to what published data shows for the 300 Rum, not too shabby and brass would be easy to make from 338 Rum & 300 Rum if it came down to that , but still ......... the 300 Norma , 30-338 Lapua have so much more sex appeal ! the 30-338 Norma Imp. versions are probably the best 30 cal you can do at this point in time .... with a case length of 2.480" to 2.502" max, case length is shorter than all of the above that allows to seat the heavy long 215 gr -230 gr+ 30 cal bullets out of the powder room and still fit in detachable mags ..... My version has a case h20 capacity of 111.0 gr (verified with once fired cases) to top of case mouth and loaded with 100.0 gr of Reloder 50 spits out the 236 gr Chinchaga bullets at a comfortable 3146 fps with 1/4"-3/8" 3 shot groups at 100 yards with initial load developement .025" off rifling, without messing with seating depth yet, haven't had tome to take it out further but working up loads with 215 gr, 230 gr Berger Hybrids and 212 gr and 220 gr Hornady Eld-X bullets with RL 33, RL 50 and 50 BMG , once the nodes are found will run out to 500 yards, max range I have access to now ..... recoil is almost non-existent with the Muscle Brake from Ryan Pierce , kind of like a mild load in 308 Win with a gentle bump , [/QUOTE]
