Links fixed I hope

They claim the 30 TC (3000fps) beats the .308 win by 180fps with 150g bullets.
Gun makers always have a very hard time with simple math.


The .30 TC (3000fps) - .308Win (2940fps by 47g of Varget) = 60fps.


Congratulation TC you just invented the .308winchester. and thats if it can even achieve the claimed "3000fps".


I'm all for new stuff but this is a little lame.

 

[todbartell]

finally! a cartridge capable of launching a 30 caliber 165 grain bullet @ 2850 fps!

 

[Mauser98]

Now if they'd just start selling 9.3mm bullets!!!!!!!!!

Congratulation TC you just invented the .308winchester.

The 30 T/C is slightly smaller in capacity than the 308 Winchester

Actually the reinvented the .300 Savage but loaded it to "modern" pressure levels. LoL

Man, that is the funniest thing I've read here for weeks! I owe todbartell a beer or two for that post!

The .30 TC is d00med, but that .450 Bushmaster looks interesting... I can't seem to locate any cartridge drawings or specs, is the case head identical to the .223?

 

[scott_r]

If someone was looking to get more velocity then the 06 and use a short action would'nt the 300 wsm fit that bill.

 

[DarrylDB]

we all have to understand, no one is reinventing the wheel, just remarketing it...

 

[Slash5]

I notice they have taken over the Stoney Point gauges.
Bushnell bought Stoney Point, guess they didn't want the liability of reloading stuff.

 

[BIGREDD]

Certainly isn't breaking any records with regard to velocity, I wonder at the recoil claims?
Whore-nady certainly pulled out the stops on the marketing with this one.

 

[eltorro]

Hornady already loads the 150 @ 3000 fps.... WTH?
It's called Light magnum...
I wish a long two (2, deux) years of prime for both the cartridge and the rifles that would put TC in a league they always despised and criticized....

 

[eltorro]

and after that I want to see them next to 710s...

 

[BIGREDD]

That 30TC cartridge is going nowhere fast... but the rifle has some serious potential. JBRO

 

[beretta boy]

Marketing ... & the other half of the equation : Supply

Anybody have SST's & Leverevolution product overflowing their shelves ???

Well .... keeps the gun hacks writing & the "gotta haves" asking !

 

[josquin]

The .450 Bushmaster sounds like another oddball like the .50 Beowulf from Alexander Arms (http://www.alexanderarms.com/beowulf.htm) only without the rebated rim. Interesting, but not likely to be a big seller, methinks.

My response to the leverrevolution, is that it's an answer to a problem that doesn't exist.
You are never going to make a bush gun shoot like a target rifle. Thus, the range potential of the leverrevolution bullet, is largely offset by the accuracy of the guns it's chambered in.

Lever gun accuracy

My response to the leverrevolution, is that it's an answer to a problem that doesn't exist.

I have known lots of lever guns, almost exclusively Marlins, capable of MOA or very close. Not target rifles by any stretch, but IMO the accuracy isn't the weak link in these rifles. Usually it's the round they are chambered for......

That said, I don't disagree with your point on the Leverrevolution and I do love the .30 WCF, 45/70, et al. I just think the whole 'levers are so inaccurate thing' gets blown out of proportion.............
