[QUOTE="liltank, post: 488732, member: 13275"] His numbers seem a little high in my opinion for both calibers. The 7mm will definitely out run the 300 in speed. The 300 will allow you to run a heavier bullet with equal BC hitting harder farther out. You take a 180grn Berger against a JLK 210 LBTHP and they are going to be pretty equal. The 300 however will carry a higher ark, but maintain more energy down range farther out due to the bullets higher weight and density. Just a heads up, the 210 bullets now or even the 208 A-max have a higher BC than the 220SMK. It use to be the king of distance, but not so much anymore. Comparison 30cal. Sierra SMK 220=.629 210=.645 you would be able to push this one a little faster than the 220grn Berger 210=.631 Hor. A-max 208=.648 JLK 210LBT=.690 7mm Hor. A-max 162=.625 Berger 168=.617 180=.659 Sierra SMK 175=.608 SMK 180=.660 By the numbers you aren't really gaining much, but if you want to nit pick, then the 7mm will be better than the 300 to a point.
