[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2354425, member: 115658"] In communist China gun possession is not encouraged, making some exceptions for established Olympic quality competitive shooters. Any debate related to either .300 WBY or .300 WM might be regarded in the same light as the merits of plasma type weapons to flintlock rifles by the authoritarian government - like both are regarded as menaces to established order and carefully molded thinking (neuroplasticity). No doubt, the skillfully promoted & feted .300 WBY will never equal the velocity potential of the utilitarian .300 WM that was designed to fit into zillions of receivers having magazine lengths of a maximum 3.34 inches - like design a round that provides increased performance that will fit an established manufacturing process. SAMMI accepted the voluntary submission of max 3.34 COAL and 1000's of LGS had .300 WM ammo loaded to fit 3.34 max length magazines. Roy Weatherby designed the .300 WBY without common "06" magazine length restrictions; I can load standard .300 WM brass to make ammo without magazine length restrictions. A longer COAL does not make a wildcat. What I think: "The primary effect of loading a cartridge long is that it leaves more internal volume inside the cartridge. This extra internal volume has a well-known effect; for a given powder charge, there will be less pressure and less velocity produced because of the extra empty space. Another way to look at this is you have to use more powder to achieve the same pressure and velocity when the bullet is seated out long. In fact, the extra powder you can add to a cartridge with the bullet seated long will allow you to achieve [I]greater velocity at the same pressure[/I] than a cartridge with a bullet seated short."
