[QUOTE="cabinfever, post: 493609, member: 14101"] Pyro 180 grain bullet vs a 210 grain bullet is not a apples to apples comparsion. And the fact that you have to bump up to a 210 grain bullet, to compete with the 7mm in the engery department ought to tell you something. In addition, why use a 200-300 grain bullet when a 180 grain is adequate for almost anything allbeit african dangerous game. The .30 cals will naturally have a small wind bucking advantage over the .284's but not by much. If you think the 300 wm is superior to the 7mm in the 1000 yd race, call up any professional long range hunter like the guys from greybull precesion, best of the west, gunwerks, Len Backus here on this site, not to metion countless F class and bench rest paper punchers and they will all tell you that there "go to" guns for 1000 yard work, are all 7mm and 6.5's. Why? Because they understand 1000 yd ballistics. I don't wish to get into a ****ing match over what caliber is better. I think the 300 wm is an excellent round, but to say it's a flatter shooting round with more efficent killing power at 1000 yards is simply not true. The law of Physics don't lie! [/QUOTE]
