I have 7 GNR, 30 GNR, and 355 GNR. I don't know which one I like the best. They are all so simple. Just pop in a factory load and fireform.

would be real screamers out of a 15 inch barrel.

The 22-250.

87gr & up bullets that I’d like to try.

I would need to know ahead of time to get the barrel made with the correct twist.

I am thinking 12 G2 no brake

Falcon as the bullet weight is pretty much the same and the same case is used. Sean is doing the load data as he does on all our stuff but we have slightly overwhelmed him with all the new stuff.

case capacity is a big limiting factor with even medium burn rate powders like H332, BLC2 etc. I've not used it but AA1680 is said to do well, I'm trying it next.

The 200-220 gr. in it is the optimal for weight vs speed obtainable. In fact the 200 gr. gives a 10% boost in speed due to capacity and less weight. I play around 2000-2300 fps in the Winchester Carbine and 200'ish gr. bullets.

The .400 case is straight, not tapered like the .375, but does not hold much more powder. The bullets in .400 are shorter though for the same weight as the .375 and benefits there from the increased capacity available under the bullet. I should equal or be a bit ahead, maybe jump to 220-230 gr. class at the same speed as a 200 gr. .375. I'd love to play and find out. Someone suggested the .356 Win. case opened up to .400. I can make those from .444 run into a .358 Win. sizer, then opening to .400. Interesting, but I like the .400 GNR idea better, much easier and more practical.

for those asking about the 30-30 based cartridges like the

I'm thinking a 400GNR Marlin is goin on my short list

30-30- Based cartridges

Something tells me the 221 or 241

What is the case capacity of 221 Falcon compared to

I'd bet same as the 22-250 or slightly more...

4 grains more than the 22-250

Can we push 100gr bullets in the 241 Falcon? Have a few

should be fine. It has the same capacity as the 6mm

What is the data on the 366falcon?

we are using the data for the 400 GNR for the 366

So what speeds you getting inthe 400GNR?

When I run the .375 WIN. I find that
