[QUOTE="jmden, post: 262254, member: 1742"] Sharp, You may want to run you numbers because a 7mm Rem Mag will not match a 300UM. According to Exbal, a 180 VLD at even 2800fps (.659bc) will still not match the speed and energy and is only 1/4 MOA wind drift less at sea level compared to a 300RUM using a 180 Accubond @ 3300fps (right on the can of Retumbo) and the Accubond is a dog balistically to the VLD. That's comparing apples and oranges. At least use a VLD for the 300RUM to get a valid comparison. Do so and the 300RUM will completely eclipse the 7 Rem Mag. It's a simple matter of horsepower/cubic inches here--the Rem Mag cannot match the RUM. Use a 210 VLD (.625) or the 240 SMK (.711--I push the 240 to 3K with 104g of US869) and then do your comparisons. [/QUOTE]
