[QUOTE="Deleted member 48126, post: 1342038"] Gents I put it in my ballistic advanced edition calculator. It's not scientific, I got it, 0 wind, different style bullets, etc, just trying to get a similar manufacture for their highest grain offering for each caliber. This is what I got: 300 Norma mag 230 grain Berger match hybrid at 2950 FPS (Berger reloading data)[ATTACH=full]80940[/ATTACH] 338 Lapua 300 grain Berger elite hunter at 2725 FPS (Berger reloading data) [ATTACH=full]80939[/ATTACH] The Lapua is 29.09 inches (2.77 MOA) lower than the Norma mag at 1000 yards, but the Lapua has 390 ft lbs of energy left. Once again I'm kind of comparing apples to oranges here but the drop alone on the Norma mag is impressive with more than enough energy to kill an elk at that distance. Just something to think about...and im a Lapua guy. I have a .338 at the smith right now. [/QUOTE]
