[QUOTE="mrb1982, post: 900669, member: 50419"] The previous post pretty much put everything out there. All the info you would need is right there. Basically, look at shooting the heavier bullets in whatever caliber you are looking at. 180gr, 7mm wins over the 308 cal equivalent in most cases, start getting to 200 grains, the 308 cal starts to take over. Of a little side not, Berger has a 195 gr 7mm bullet in works that they are speaking of being around a .8 BC if I remember correctly. If you run there through a fast 7mm of some sort, it will then get to a point of some serious performance. Problem is, it has been put on the back burner with the shortage of their other bullets at the time. If you are gonna build a 7mm, just put a barrel with an 8.5 twist, then you can shoot the 180's right now, and the 195's when they come out. Or shoot a 300WM or Ultra mag with the heavier bullets.
