[QUOTE="memtb, post: 3098090, member: 75451"] Gino, welcome from North Central Wyoming! You're at the right place for answers. My very limited take on efficiency could be summed up as a process of "diminishing returns". At some point as the case capacity/powder volume increases the bullet velocity does not increase in a linear progress. In other words, let's say (just my definition not actual numbers) a 300 WM gives 200 fps velocity gain over a 30-06 with a 10% actual increase in powder. The 300 RUM may need an additional 20% in powder to gain an additional 200 over the 300 WM. That may not be a perfect (hell even accurate) explanation…..but, that's the way I see it! memtb [/QUOTE]
