[QUOTE="Jordan Smith, post: 755641, member: 44423"] The .338 300gr and the .308 230gr were first introduced as members of the heavyweight Hybrid lineup that Berger came out with, followed by the .270 170gr. The 7mm 195 will complete the series of heavy Hybrids from .270 to .338, and will be a much better comparison for the 230 and 300, like you said. The 7RM firing the 195 at ~2850fps will be fairly equivalent to the 230 from the .300 RUM (QL predicts that 2850-2900fps is about the top end with a 26" barrel) and the 300 from the .338LM as far as wind drift and drop are concerned. Of course momentum on target gets higher and higher as you move up the bullet weight ladder. Prior to the heavy Hybrids showing up, the 180gr 7mm bullets were compared with the 210gr range of .308 bullets, which was as good as it got for an apples to apples comparison. QL shows around 3000fps being about max for the 210 in the .300RUM, as well as the 180 in the 7RM. [/QUOTE]
