[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 963577, member: 48043"] A 338win's not quite that bad, but an interesting way to put it. I've got a #1 in 338 win that I bought years ago. I bought it after seeing a few deer run on 7's and thirty's. A big hole through a critter is a sure way to drop him. The trajectory difference messed with me though; a 225 at 2900 fps has nearly 300 inches drop to 1,000 yards with a 200 yard zero. That's over 70 inches more than my 7stw with a full throttle 140ab (or my 300rum with the 225) and better than 30 inches more drop than my mid range 300 win load with a 165. [/QUOTE]
