[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 236086, member: 12995"] Hey Steve, Good to see you chime in. Yeah, I guess yall are right...However I did a home-made ballistics comparrison chart using ALL 4 calibers, with their bullet weights & types, that I am interested in... Here are the results: 1.) .257 Wby. / 110gr. AccuBond - M.V.: 3,460 / M.E.: 2,950 2.) 7mm Rem. Mag. / 160gr. Barnes Triple-Shock X - M.V.: 2,940 / M.E.: 3,071 3.) 7mmSTW / 160gr. AccuBond - M.V.: 3,100 / M.E.: 3,414 4.) .30-378 Wby. / 180gr. Barnes Triple-Shock X - M.V.: 3,360 / M.E.: 4,513 These are the results I found. If you look closely...the .257 Wby is NOT that much faster, nor is it that far behind on its energy, than the 7mm Rem. Mag. I used to shoot a 7mm Rem Mag. for a LONG time...it's still one of my all-time favorite calibers! So, why not get better ballistics, with virtually the same energy? I was just saying that I AM getting a .257 Wby. Accumark for Whitties this year...however, I was asking is it possible for anyone to put a larger grain bullet in there...somewhere around 140gr.??? Don't you think that would be a deer killing machine!!!??? A .257 Wby. firing a 140gr. Barnes TSX!!! [/QUOTE]
