[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 574709, member: 4885"] It looks like a good data-set to compare cartridges. One thing to keep in mind, don't forget to compare the efficiency of the cartridge. Look at the amount of powder it takes to get a certain level of performance. For example, the 300win mag is about 109fps faster than the 300wsm for the ballistic tip (about 3.4%). It takes 14.5gr more powder (23% more), to gain that 3% velocity improvement. Every grain of powder generates heat, erodes the throat, causes more recoil and costs more $ to load. AJ [/QUOTE]
