[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 429398, member: 9705"] I was thinking of the 300 SMK and 300 Berger. The only smaller caliber bullet widely available that comes close to either for BC is the Berger 7mm 180. Since that can be launched faster from a 7mm RM, than the 300 from the two RUM based 338s, you are probably right there with the 300s on wind drift. Your RM will have a little less drop, not a big deal. I'll still take one of the RUM based 338s for a low cost, long range elk rifle. And the 338s will have longer barrel life....that 7mm RM is a barrel burner...kinda...gun):):):):):) [/QUOTE]
