[QUOTE="soundwaves, post: 488728, member: 15819"] According to my ballistic calculator, if you start a 180 grain Sierra Spitser BT out of a 300 Win mag at 3100 feet/sec, at 500 yards it will have a remaining velocity of 2266, energy of 2051 ft/lb and drop 60 inches. A 175 Sierra from a 7mm mag with the same velocity will have a remaining velocity of 2304 feet/sec and 2063 ft/lb and drop 55 inches. At 1000 yards the 7mm will still be going at 1644 feet/sec with 1051 ft/lb and drop 282 inches. The 300 on the other hand will do 1583 feet/sec, have 1002 ft/lb remaining and drop 290 inches.
