G'day Foxer,

2700 fps out of a .30-30 Ackley is really moving! Is funny coz the .303 improved only gets around 2800 fps - only around 100 fps above standard. I wonder how they get such a big improvement on the .30-30 when the two are similar shaped cases? Not shooting you flames and I'm not saying I don't believe you - I do, just wondering how they do it.

A .303 powered 94, man that makes a  hell of a rifle!

Without doing any research on the subject, I would say the boat tail bullet as tested by the US Government and used in the second world war didn't look like a Nosler BT bullet base. In as much as they named the bullet "boat tail" anything less than that bullet is not a boat tail? Hell who knows. I do shoot the BT's by the thousands.
