[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 334890, member: 11717"] Tank, According to Mr Newton, an object in motion tends to stay in motion and it tends to want to maintain it's path. It takes some amount of force to change the momentum and direction of this object and the greater the momentum of the object the more difficult it will be to change the objects momentum and path. Monentum is directly proportional to velocity and mass. Meaning, that your 7mm RM will be a better brush gun than the -08 variants unless you can produce enough velocity on a given weight bullet to exceed the velocity-mass of the 154 SP. Then of course, stability of the bullet also plays a big factor. The 154 with am MV of 3100 has a momentum of 68 lb ft/s. The 270-08 is definitely not a player. the 358 Win shooting a 225 bullet with an MV 2500 (on the upper end) has a momentum of 80 lb ft/s so it will resist deflection from brush a little better than the 7RM. Anything larger on the list than the 358 will probably do even better. Without knowing bullet weight and velocity, my guess would be the 338-08 will be close to the 7RM and the 8mm would be "iffy". My uncle was/is the beat PA deer hunter I knew. He used a .308, which IMHO is probably the all around best cartridge for "average" PA deer hunting. Hope you get out in the woods soon and get your buck :) gun) Mark [/QUOTE]
