[QUOTE="packgoatguy, post: 1556334, member: 27192"] You are correct sir. And for one reason. The two bullets (and manufacturers) I began this comparison with (hornady ELD-X and nosler ABLR Trophy) do not have factory loaded options for the RUM cartridges, other than 300RUM (which IS included in the spreadsheet by the way). Also, for the 338 RUM and EDGE, unless I am mistaken, their velocities would likely be somewhere at or between the 338LM and 338LMI numbers included in the spreadsheet. If I am wrong in this assumption, and they actually have the potential to beat said options, then please let me know the reasonable velocities I would expect out of a 24 inch barrel (for this apples to apples comparison). As for 7mmRUM, again no posted factory ammo data, but also I would expect it to be on par with 28 Nos velocities with similar bullet weights and barrel lengths. Again, if I am wrong in this assumption, and someone has reliable data for the comparison (preferably using the bullets already being compared) that would be ideal. [/QUOTE]
