[QUOTE="cummin_un_glued, post: 968800, member: 28533"] Yobuck, I have to respectfully disagree with this statement sir. Here is a bit of data for your bigger is better theory. Conditions: 7500ft elevation 59* 30% Humidity Energy: 7mm Rem Mag 162 Amax @ 2963 1000lb ft - 1250 yards 300 Win Mag 208 Amax @ 2900 1000lb ft - 1535 yards 7X300 Win 180 Berger @ 3200 1000lb ft - 1665 yards Wind Drift per 5mph @ 1000 yards 7mm Rem Mag 162 Amax @ 2963 - 2.1 moa 300 Win Mag 208 Amax @ 2900 - 2.1 moa 7x300 Win 180 Berger @ 3200 - 1.8 moa Now that being said the velocity's I used were my personal drop verified data to 1765 yards for my 7x300 and then hodgens published data for the others. My point is that a bigger bullet does not mean more killing power down range in every case. It takes rifles in the 300 Ultra Mag and 30-378 Weatherby class to match the 7x300 for down range energy and wind bucking capability. [/QUOTE]
