Help Support Long Range Hunting Forum
I will help I'm sorry you feel attacked. Not my aim.
I think your opening post on this thread set the mark for yourself. I cannot speculate what's in a man's heart but your post pretty much puts it out there saying that we are all the problem. We can agree to disagree sir.
Again, back on track......
Like what you want. Build what you want and be happy. Just provide info accurately and without biased that's the point. Plainly, I think there's just too much of this clouding long range hunting. In an age where all you need to do is turn on the TV and you're a long range hunter, I'm just trying to have a discussion about trying to keep it as pure as possible.
This has sure turned out different than I thought it would, lol 
That's why I like the 7STW
Get one of each, the 1903 and the p1917.
I really like mine.

I like chicken ! I like guns also . I am a 22 centerfire maniac . Built a 222 magnum AI on a contender carbine , love my Ruger no 1 220 swift , my 22 Nosler AR with a 24" barrel flat out shoots . I also know that my 338 Allen Express knocks the gongs off of the support chains the 22's just swing them a little . It is fun to watch them move in the scope then hear the ting . The 338 crushes them . This might just add to the page count for your pleaser !
So we are limiting this discussion to saami spec? I know most guys here don't care about saami spec. And I know browning and seekins sell 8 twist 7 mags. But then lets talk 7 prc. If I can launch a 180 berger versus a 85 gr at an elk. I know what I'm picking. As do most hunters. Bullet construction being the same a higher bc bullet with more mass and energy on target wins.

You've created a completely different argument than I was replying to. An actual straw man.
The claim was a 22cm would wind drift more because it's 22 cal. It's objectively, demonstrably false. Caliber and weight have nothing whatsoever to do with wind drift.
The point is and was that a 7mm will have a higher bc and thus have less drift. AND will do so with twice the mass and more energy. All important to a hunter.

A 284 bullet from a standard 7rm will have a lower bc and lower muzzle velocity than a 22cm. And will always have more wind drift.
