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 more propellant.

(Commission Internationale Permanente Pour L'Epreuve Des Armes A Feu Portative) guidelines the .30 R Blaser case can handle up to 405.00 MPa (58,740 psi) Pmax piezo pressure.

The versatility of the .30 R Blaser for hunting all kinds of American and European game and the availability of several factory loads[4] and the fact that it uses standard .30 caliber projectiles all contribute to the .30 R Blaser chambering popularity in break action hunting rifles.

The .30 R Blaser offers good penetrating ability due to a fast enough twist rate to enable it to fire relatively long, heavy bullets with a high sectional density.

The (former) legal banning of (ex) military service cartridges in countries like Belgium, Italy and France, means that the .30 R Blaser can be used for hunting in such jurisdictions.
