..no reason to stray from the time tested and hunter approved ole' reliable.. .300 win mag. No animals vitals will ever notice the slight difference in velocity but you'll have better everything by just staying home...

Lapua case will outrun a RUM if you're seeking maximum velocity

Only if you improve it.

300 win is good but you need a faster twist barrel and it needs to be throated for the higher bc bullets.
Anything over 215gr the pants start to fall off

I'll provide a little extra info, i have a CA Traverse in 300 PRC that im wanting to do this with. So the easiest option would be a barrel swap. Also, with my Traverse, i believe i have a combo of not the best barrel and crap brass. I see many of other's achieveing much higher velocities using the same powder and bullets i usually use, hence the barrel swap option. Right now, i forget my charge, but im using H1000 with a 230 A-Tip and im only getting 2600 or 2680. I cant remember the exact, but i know im not getting 2700. Its to hot at 2700.

Lapua 300PRC brass
CCI250
N570
230 Hyb
2995fps from 26" 1:9"
Got 3026 & 3042 on the next couple charge weights but started to open up.

What would the 30 SM do above the standard 300PRC?

I have a buddy who has a 28" 300SM pushing 245s @ 2800. But he can't load for crap...

300NMI would be the next option in a 8" twist.

Cheers.

This!

You obviously have zero experience running 230's in a 10" twist 300WM…No pants falling off with 32"-34" barrels.
Even works in 26" barrels without drama.

Cheers.
