Thanks for all the replies, but what if you could get a special powder that would produce the same pressure in a smaller case that would push a bullet faster than in a larger case.

I will ask in a simpler way. Would it be possible to push a 168gr 30 caliber bullet at say 2700-3000 FPS from a case as small as 300BLK if there was a powder that would produce the pressure without the barrel blowing up?
