[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 488757, member: 11717"] It's possible the Winchester data was from a 26" barrel and the Hodgdon from a 24" barrel... who knows? In any case, when your comparing apples to apples the 300 WM is going to beat the the 7mm. As Tank pointed out, it's hard to compare equal weight bullets in different cals. Typically, a 7mm RM is going to shoot a 160 gr bullet about as fast as a 300 is going to shoot a 180 bullet and their BC's will be fairly close. They will have the same trajectories and velocity down range with the 300 making a larger hole with more KE and momentum. Not a huge diff between them, but fairly significant and I like putting the odds in my favor :) [/QUOTE]
