[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 775965, member: 11717"] Depending on barrel lengths, throats, powders etc., I would say close to 3000 fps would be expected on the high end for both the 180's in the 7RM and 210-215's in the 300 WM. 3000 fps is a typical max velocity for 160's out of 24" 7 RM and maybe another 50 fps for a 26". With the right combo of barrel and powder 3000 would be possible for 180's but 2800 fps would be more common. I have shot 210's @ 2935 out of my 24" 300 WSM over RL17. When comparing apples to apples, a 300 WM is going to shoot a 210-215 bullet about the same velocity that a 7RM is going to shoot a 180. EDIT: My 300 RUM shoots 210's @ 3130 over Retumbo [/QUOTE]
