I did search for SAMMI drawings. But they must be guarded.
No arguing here Jeff. Id like to know everyones thoughts. I am replying/offering comments to some opinions, based on what I know understand and have read.
Not sure your meaning, but I agree with what you said. Its what I know to be true. The pressure of the 30-30 is also in the 40k range. (Cup is older and psi is current they do not jive 100% but as I understand, are close. What the 360 will be is anyones guess but Id bet its more then the 30/30! Probably up 50k range.
I own, shoot, have hunted and killed multiple times on deer and pigs with both calibers.
My "meaning" is just another thought regarding what we don't know yet - pointing out one of the elusive tricks the industry has played fro many years. Not an accusation, but something to look for and consider.
There is much to learn yet, but I certainly appreciate this thread and your efforts in collecting intel on this thing. I also appreciate the great input from everyone else. Sure, we could wait and see, but I'm interested, it's a neat idea, I applaud the recognition of lever-guns and of rules esoteric to geographic/demographic points.
On the other hand, I appreciate and probably strongly agree with
@Tomme boy 's points in his last post too. I neither need nor want a new gun. I think I'm officially an "old guy" now, because, for example; I've not done all I want to do with the 357 Max yet! I'm not bored with it and it certainly doesn't leave me short or disappoint in any way.
Some think that a guy who desires to own and drive a car from his own era is "living in the past," "can't accept change," or is too old and tired to "keep up," but in reality, we're just not being flighty and fickle. We've found things we like and wish to do more with it, maybe even eventually become bored with it, but I'm a long way from that. Stop shoving "newer/better" in front of my face while abandoning the last "newer/better" you sold me, when I haven't gotten out of what I HAVE all that I want to get out of it.
I HATE my "smart phone" and hear a lot of crap about me "not understanding the technology." I do not hesitate to remind the twits who think they "understand technology," that because of old people like ME, who had to truly understand and WORK for what they got out of a machine, it now such that any idiot could exploit/benefit from that technology. Phones may well be faster and have more storage than old computers ever did, but they use that speed and storage to make up fro a severe lack of real understanding, or the motivation to achieve any level of understanding.
So, yeah, I view anything new with a very skeptical eye, but skepticism isn't rejection.
SHOW ME. I'll look, I'll listen, but I want meaningful information, not hype.
THAT is sort of a rhetorical challenge, not directed at anyone in this discussion, but to the marketing folks.
