Laffin’, took about 20 minutes longer than I thought.

“Magnum” is just a word. Are you trying to say, instead of what you actually said, that, above a certain velocity, a certain type of bullet is needed?

A .243 Win will fire an 80gr bullet at 3,350 fps or more.

A .300 Win MAGNUM will fire a 200gr bullet at about 2,750 fps.

Are you saying that the 200gr .308 bullet going at 2,750 fps must be “premium,” but the .243 bullet moving at 3,350 fps need not be because it’s coming out of a “sane,” non-MAGNUM, cartridge?

If so, it's likely not very sound thinking.
