"good point but ya know, the same could be said for all the short-mags vs. the "old, out dated" magnums that have been around forever."
OK, let's try a different way of comparing. Check some reloading manuals for powder charges. Compare the 357 and the 30-30. Compare the 300 Win Mag (the older one) and the 300 WSM.
I'll tell ya what you'll find. The 2 300 magnums use surprisingly similar amounts of powder (within 5% or so).
The 357 uses about 13 grains of powder. The 30-30 uses around 34 grains.
This is a very rough thumbnail comparison, but it should give you the picture.
The 30-30 is simply more gun.
