[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 353938, member: 1007"] That is for sure! The 7mm RUM isnt far behind in the barrel burning department. 180 (284) at 3300 (MV) at 1K = 1500 pounds of energy and 49" of 10 MPH of drift. 300 (338) at 2830 (MV) at 1K = 1766 pounds of energy and 51" of 10 MPH of drift. At 1500 yards, the 338 is still over 1200 pounds versus just over 800 pounds of energy with identical wind drifts. It would be interesting to see how the numbers would add up if and when Berger ever gets their 300 grain bullet on the market. Add the benefit of much better barrel life of the 338 and the super hot 7 mags just dont seem that appealing. [/QUOTE]
