[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 314161, member: 1403"] So lemme give you scenario #2 for 7 RM. What doesn't quite make sense to me is how the 7 stw and RUM push the same bullet 250-350fps faster, but yet it gives you 450 more yards of effective range?? Those numbers dont quite work out. If were going with 1800fps for all bullets but the AMAX's, then the 162g amax from a 7 RM at 3100-3150fps w/26" barrels and Retumbo, (I've gotten 3100fps with 24") is no slouch compared to the STW and only gives up 150 yards of maximum range. 225fps gain in bullet speed dont make up for 450 yards in effective range. You take the same 162g amax at 3100fps at 8000elevation it has 1800fps and 1150ft lbs at 1200 yards (7 MAG) You take the same 162g amax at 3325 at 8000elevation it has 1821fps and roughly 1200ft lbs at 1350 yards (7 STW) Plus if you go down to your now advertised of 1600fps for AMAX, then that just gives the 7 RM that much more range. Really not trying to stir the pot anymore, but that really got me thinking. [/QUOTE]
