[QUOTE="Broz, post: 1107687, member: 7503"] MudRunner, I offered the most recent real world comparison I had, the 7mm and 338 hunt. But you know that I have spent my time in the field testing and hunting with the 7mm. Most recently with the 7mm-300 win. Now there you have a true comparison. I have shot the 300 win and 7-300 side by side at targets in wind, at rocks for practice. And hunted elk deer and antelope with both for more than a few years now. So here are a few questions to ponder. Q: why did I even do this? A: I was looking for the best mouse trap for my midsized magnum. Q: Why do I still use a 300 win mag for the midsized magnum? A: All the testing has proven to me it serves my needs better is all aspects. Yes, the 195 will be a great new option to test. But Now the G1 BC has been tested to be closer to .75 than to .8 that we were originally hoping for. Will the 195 offer more terminal performance than a 7mm 180 gr? Yes I believe so. Will the 195 have a leg up over the 180 in BC? Yes , a good leg up. Will the 195 have a BC to equal the largest 30 cal bullets offered today? Yes and this is great! Will the 195 kill as well on larger game like moose as a 230 from a 30 cal? Nope, I just don't personally think so. A game changer , yes to some degree, but only in the game played between a 7mm 168 or 180. Not against the larger calibers when going down range where the larger caliber look their best. To drive a 195 to the speeds needed to overcome the benefits of a big cased 300 or 338 for long range hunting of the bigger game animals, most could not live with the short barrel life that would come with the 7. But will I take another look at the 7mm 195 in a 7-300 for my midrange magnum? Yes Sir, I sure will. That's as honest answer as I have, and it is what I believe to be truth. Jeff [/QUOTE]
