The RCM only has a few more grains capacity than the 30-06 and less than the 300 saum and wsm.
And good luck reaching anywhere near 300 fps with a rcm handloading. It was very difficult for me to do with a 3000 saum and a 24" tube.



Hornady disagrees, but perhaps you know more about their test results than they do.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
