It is based on the 450 case, however the rim is larger (not 308 size) so it can not be used in the 450 platform by rebarreling. My understanding is that Remington is using a different bolt head for higher pressures. The case uses a small rifle primer.

Google 30 RAR -- lots of spec's out there. NOW you will see lots of wildcats! I am waiting for a 35 cal.

I lost the argument and they did what they wanted to do in any event, didn't make sence to me but then... My understanding is that Remington is using a different bolt head for higher pressures.

Hold on 206 I have something coming that is sure to blow the competition away (again), should be sometime early next year. I gotta get these labs finished then back into the serious shooting research and the 6.5 and other cartridges are at the top of the list..
