[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 291506, member: 4191"] In 30 caliber, I'd bet the majority of LRHs in the States interested in pursuing a preemo bullet are using one of the following three cartridges: 300 RUM 300 Win Mag 300 Win Short Mag Of these three cartridges, the die-hard - dedicated to shooting at the very longest ranges - are probably shooting the 300 RUM to obtain the highest muzzle, and down-range, velocity. However owners of rifles chambered in any of these cartridges could be equally interested in a 190-200 grain high performance solid bullet. Some may need to re-barrel, and that would be an added expense. Some wear their barrels out every three years and re-barreling is just part of their standard operating procedure. I mentioned RWS because RWS makes 300 Win Mag brass, however Lapua does not as of about 1 year ago, and I consider RWS and Lapua to be the best of the best. I didn't understand the rationale on the brass issue, however I don't think brass will control who would - or who wouldn't - buy these bullets. The guys who have 30 calibers have already found a way to make do with the brass currently available for their cartridge. Many LRHs will be reloading their own ammo and they can make decent ammo from a variety of brands of brass cases. Some sort cases by tossing the losers and keeping and loading what they believe to be the winners. Others outside neck turn, primer pocket uniform, flash hole debur, etc..., taking measures to improve the quality and consistency of run-of-the-mill cases. Best regards, [/QUOTE]
