[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 936576, member: 12995"] BC has nothing to do with what I am talking about. I'm talking about recoil and powder consumption. Compare proper weight-for-caliber bullets. Such as 180gr for 7mm vs 210 for .308.... Or 195 Matrix for 7mm and 230gr for .308. Then your scales aren't so flawed, and are much closer. Also, the powder charge should be within 7 grains MAX, unless you're running up hot loads on purpose to make the numbers more skewed. I know the BC of both are comparable, and that the 7 wins. I have over five different 7mm rifles in all sorts of calibers....And many .30 calibers as well. I am not putting down the 7mm. You are trying to turn this into some stupid contest, and it isn't. Oh, and the cocky and smug attitude doesn't help your case. And you never lost me, you lost yourself along the way. If you knew what you were talking about, then why did you bring bullet BC into a recoil and powder consumption conversation? Reading comprehension is important when being a smartass. [/QUOTE]
