[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 99957, member: 1403"] The only thing the 7 RUM might win in is retained velocity and less trajectory. However, I'll try a little ballistics comparison for ya. Shooting the 210g VLD at 3100fps with a BC of .640 you will have somewhere around these numbers at 1000 yards. 1494lbs energy, 1790fps, 54.5 inches of wind drift with 10 MPH, and zero at 200 yards, the drop is -219. Now for the 7 RUM and the 162g AMAX. 1405lbs energy, 1976fps, 49.1 wind drift, and -181 with 200 yard zero. ****, why didn't I get the 7 RUM??? Considering you can get 3400fps with the 162g AMAX. Those numbers beat the pants off the 300 RUM in velocity retained and trajectory. HOwever, trajectory is a moot point with come up clicks. the 7 RUM also beats the wind by 5 inches, again not much, but hey, the only advantage I see is the 300 RUM beats it by about 90 lbs of energy which is not even a .22 LR. You cant go wrong with either though, both are outstanding LR calibers. [/QUOTE]
