[QUOTE="Jumpalot, post: 822371, member: 4867"] My ES with the Retumbo was 37 fps and ES with the H1000 was 9 fps. About 100 fps faster with Retumbo but my groups fell apart after 500 yds. I opted for the better accuracy. Don't get me wrong, I love my 7mm RM. In fact, I had it built because of the better BC Bergers available at the time over the 30 cal. But the new 215 and 230 Bergers have changed all that. Even if you get the same speed with the 7mm as the 30 cal., you are still shooting a 35 grain heavier bullet and on elk that matters. I'm probably going to go back to the 168 VLD in the 7mm and use it primarily for antelope and deer. Killed an antelope over 900 yds with that load. Wouldn't hesitate to use it on elk either. [/QUOTE]
