[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 748373, member: 48043"] Thank you for that Sako. The win is more like the trajectory of an '06 than a 300 wsm or 7 rem, but that 'aint all bad. You have to learn your pipe, and all's well. With the limited boiler room the 338 win has, something like the 225 tipped bullets (the nos a'bond or hdy I-bond) offers about as much as you can get as far as output. You will often get the same bc as a lead tipped 250 in a rum and you are moving the same speed, so you are only at a 10% energy deficit the whole way out with the same trajectory. The win can only do 2400fps on a 300 grain, so I'd not go there. The rum's boiler room will help more on 300's and you MAY net the 300+ fps that was talked about. [/QUOTE]
