I am looking at the charts on page 6 and the 30 caliber bullet has about 1/3 more energy at 2500. I see the trajectory and wind drift lag. But if I want rocks busted wouldn't more energy be useful?
Comment's that are being made about the 300 RUM having to use more powder to achieve the velocity and distance that it gets, that's to be expected for those of us that are shooting the 30 Cal Magnums. We are using them because of the cartridge size to be able to do exactly that, put more powder in to get more speed and distance.
Some here have replied that I am using 40gr or 30gr more powder to do the same thing as they are with lesser caliber's, which is not true as a matter of fact in the last example that I used with the 7wsm & the 300 Rum just to make a point, that was less than 20gr more powder to get 350fps more velocity.
This post is about 30 Cal. Magnums, so I appreciate those that reply with good information to share about the 30 Cal. Magnum's , like the last person who was talking about the 30-378 and the 300 Wby. that they are using.
As for any comment's that don't apply to this post or are Immature and Inappropriate ... I have set them on Ignore so I don't even see their comments , which I recommend for the other serious shooters to do the same. Then we can share information in this post as it was meant for.
Hey man run whatcha brung and be happy about it.... I’m sure some folks think the stuff I shoot is dumb but I ALWAYS produce results.... your not making anyone but yourself happy...

As far as the Immature, Inappropriate and comment's that don't apply to this post, I have set them on Ignore so I don't even see their comments , which I recommend for the other serious shooters to do the same. Then we can share information in this post as it was meant for.
Good advice.

Your right, for rock busting you do want more energy :
Interesting fact " John Buhay of Stevens, PA. broke the 'Light Gun World Record' at Williamsport, PA.in 2001 John shot a perfect score of 100 with a 5.377" group using the 200gr HPBT MatchKing in his custom built '300 R.U.M.'

I think this discussion has been VERY helpful to me, as I just drew a 2019 Wyoming Unit 6 boulder tag. If I get a chance a a trophy, I wanna be able to SPLIT that summbitch……….not just put a hole in it !!!!

What I thought that was a single Tag issued per year. Go buy a lottery ticket right now.

The cartridge on the right is a .375 RUM loaded with a 260 grain Nosler Partition 2900 fps from a 26" barrel. And it has 4856 ft lbs of energy at the muzzle.
The cartridge on the left is a .460 Wby and the bullet is a 500 grain Hornady DGX at 2300 fps. It has a 5874 ft.lbs of energy at the muzzle.
Kinda makes the .300 RUM look puny.
