[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 312878, member: 19988"] Sorry it took so long to get back with everyone. Maybe yall can help me then with the 338 lapua prob. A 300 grain bullet verses a 180grain bullet. Yea your right that's apples to apples. SMK says that bullet has to travel at 1700 fps to expand. Whitch at 1000 yrds it's just under that. But that's cool because the millatary says it's efective range is 1750 yrds. So that confused me. At 1500yrds the bullet has about 850" drop. You better have one hell of a rifle scope to have that many adjustments in it. And by the time you reach out that far your 1/4 moa scope is moving almost 4" per click. I'll have to get with my friend who is a sniper and explain that one to me. Because I will admit when I'm wrong. I have no prob with that I'm only human. But if serria says there bullet doesn't expand under 1700fps then I really don't understand. Now the 7mm prob. Just do this check on lazeronie arms. There 180 grn bullet is flyin at about 3350 fps. Just check for your self. They are in the record books for the fastest bullets. And at 1500yrds the 180 grn 7mm is still traveling at 1600 fps and serria says that is still fast enough for the 7mm to expand. And it has under 550" of drop at 1500 yrds. My scope has plenty of moa's of adjustment for that. If bothe bullets expand properly then yes!! The 300 grn 338 will hit harder. But if it doesn't expand then I'm sorry because it will not hit harder than a 180 grn 7mm. That is why there are different bullets out there for what you entend to use them for.
