[QUOTE="packgoatguy, post: 1556781, member: 27192"] Yes, but at 678 yards, according to the graph, you have less margin for error if your chosen cartridge was a 7mm08 vs a 28 nosler. Because the 28nosler is pushing that 7mm bullet so much faster, by the time it reaches 678 yards, the real world conditions of wind and everything else will have had less of an effect on that bullet than if the same bullet were fired out of the 7mm08. So, cartridge choice matters. It may not matter as much if you were trying to decide between a 338LM and a 7mmRUM, but the difference/advantage at 678 yards appears significant between a 270WIN and a 28NOS when looking at this chart.
