[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 803021, member: 11717"] Just for the sake of discussion, If you compare a 230 gr Hybrid with an MV of 3000 fps to a 300 GR OTM with an MV of 2850, @ 4000' elevation, both bullets arive at 1500 yds with 1600 fps veloity. The 230 has 3.1 MOA of drift in a 5 mph wind and the 300 has 2.95 MOA of drift. Energy is 1321 vs 1722. The 338 will have more authority on game at those ranges but ballisitcally the 2 are very close to that distance. The RUM will have shorter barrel life, but that said, I'm having my new RUM barrel nitrided which will hopefully double it's life or more. [/QUOTE]
