anyone have any dealings with the 30 tc caliber, have an oppurtunity to pick up a barrel for the pro hunter, but haven't heard much on this caliber, have a 280 barrel- they seem to be pretty much the same . any information would be appreciated

It's a .30 caliber cartridge based on the .308 Win shortened by about .100" that supposedly will launch a 150gr bullet faster than the 30-06.



It's my understanding that they achieved this by using higher energy powders, likely at higher pressures, than what the 308 is typically loaded with. As far as I can tell, there's nothing special there that couldn't be done (or has already been done) in 308 or any of the other short action 30s.
