[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 85665, member: 4885"] Howdy all, I am trying to decide which LR rifle I want to have built. No, this isn't another 'which rifle is best' posts. What I am looking for is a side by side comparison of the different calibers that are often talked about here on the forums. I've looked in the search and haven't been able to find a complete comparison. If anyone has done this, or has data they can run through one of the ballistic programs, I would really appreciate it. The ones I would like to compare are the .338 Edge, 300 RUM, 270 AM, 277AM, 7mm Rem Mag, others?. I realize these are apples and oranges and each of the calibers listed is the best for some particular situations. But I think I will better understand these cartridges once I look at a side/side comparison of the data. For all the Wildcats, I'd assume a 30" barrel (28.5+brake). For the 300RUM and 7mm Rem, I'd assume a 26" barrel no brake. Each loaded with the best LR (heavyweight bullet) they will accurately digest. The data I would like to see would be from Muzzle every 50 yards out to 1500yds, Velocity and MOA drop (inches drop would be OK), Wind drift (10mph). This data is just for comparison sake, so as long as the environmental info is consistent it doesn't matter what it is. That way I can do some serious thinking on when to smash open my piggy bank and what to spend it on. I'll give this thread a week and then I'll start compiling my own list. Thanks all, AJ [/QUOTE]
