[QUOTE="Broz, post: 800304, member: 7503"] I will address what I posted earlier and explain what I was referring to. 1st, I don't load little fast bullets. They slow faster and since hunting is what I seek, I will hit the game as hard as I can. Thus I was referring to loading large for caliber offerings. I live in elk country and hunt elk a lot. Here is some real world data for both rifles I have worked with extensively. 7-300 with 180 Berger @ 3000 fps 300 win, 215 Berger Hybrid @ 3015 fps. Both loaded close to max, both large for caliber offering, both close to 3000 fps. 1000 yard shot, 10 mph 3 O clock spin drift accounted for. Impact velocity........... 1874 energy........................ 1403 drift............................ 4.5 MOA time of flight............... 1.27 sec. Same shot with 300 win. Impact Velocity............ 1927 energy......................... 1773 drift ............................ 3.8 MOA time of flight ............... 1.24 sec. This is what I was talking about. I have shot them side by side. Both are great rifles. But for my type of shooting and elk hunting anything the 7 does the 300 will do and even a little better for my usage. I am not going to get in a who's is bigger discussion with a 7 mm lover. I like them too. But I know why I still shoot a 300 win and have proven it to myself in the field. When the 7mm 195 Berger is released I will be out testing them too. I have said before that could be a game changer, but not until I prove it in the field. Jeff [/QUOTE]
