[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 105360, member: 10"] [b]Re: Comments on HOT 7mm\'s[/b] Leaving BC out of this, I can tell you for a fact that a 7mm 200 gr ULD RBBT launched at 3100 fps has less bullet drop then a 300 gr 338 SMK launched at the same speed. A 240 gr 308 SMK is not really in the same class of either of these bullets as far as bullet drop for equal velocity is concerned. That said, on game performance will be more dramatic the larger the bullet is that you drive into your target, this is mainly a result of bullet diameter more then anything. As far as effectively killing a big game animal, put all three through the vitals at any supersonic velocity and you will have a dead critter. I think Dave was talking in reference to the on game visual impact more then anything. The big 338s certainly are impressive. I do not see much difference between the 300 RUM which I hunted with for many years and my 7mm AM except that the 7mm makes it look silly ballistically. TO be fair I was using a 180 gr Ballistic Silvertip in the 300 RUM but it was loaded to 3400 fps as well!! This is not worth an arguement of any kind. In the right hands they are all more then powerful enough to kill any critters we point them at. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
