The magazine capacity has improved with an additional cartridge capacity. For example in the "magnum" calibres the capacity is now 3+1 rather than the R93's 2+1. A magazine capacity of just two rounds always seemed a bit limiting.





This bit confuses me, the only increase in capacity is in '06 diameter cases (3 to 4) and WSM diameter (2 to 3) - traditional magnums: .300 Win, the Weatherbys and .375 H&H, will remain 3+1 the same as is found in the R93.

I've not seen the diameter specs of the recenly released Blaser magnums, but now I'm tipping they are the same as the WSMs and hence the increased capacity claims
