While still unreleased to the public, the cartridge went on to set world records for accuracy including the first ten 10X in 1,000 yards (910 m) benchrest shootin
The cartridge is of a new design and was constructed to outperform popular hunting cartridges like the .30-06 Springfield and 7.92×57mm Mauser.When compared with the .30-06 Springfield the .30 R Blaser features an equal maximum chamber pressure of 405 MPa (58,740 psi) piezo pressure - which is fairly high for a rimmed rifle cartridge - but more cartridge case capacity, allowing the use of ...

By necking the .30 carbine's case down to a .224 caliber bullet and basing the cartridge ballistics around those of the .22 Hornet, he was attempting to improve the effective range of the M1 carbine while reducing recoil and "muzzle rise". The Plainfield Machine Company (later taken over by Iver Johnson's Arms) sold a sporting rifle copy of the ...
