[QUOTE="slowrunning, post: 1320599, member: 45968"] [b]Re: Anybody shooting 195 EOL in 7SAUM w/ H-1000?[/b] Drop is what I meant and the 195 is awesome. I killed a bull with one last year and my 7saum will be a dedicated hunting rifle as well. However, when comparing the 168 at 3000fps to the 195 at 2800, 9k+- elevation where I hunt, 1k yards, from bergers calculator: Vel En Drop Wind 10mph 168: 2028 1534 -218 38 195: 2023 1772 -239 34 The energy numbers are both high enough they're negligible. 168 wins drop which is important to me, 10% less drop = more room for error (every shot has error). 195 wins in the wind, 4" of wind at 1k doesn't quite make up for the drop advantage of the 168 to me, but it does win. So basically what I was trying to say before is that they're a wash. You really don't gain anything with a 195 at 7saum velocities except more recoil. My gun will finish around 9 pounds scoped so limiting recoil is important to me. Once you get the 195 to around 3000fps, theres not much that can keep up with it. [/QUOTE]
