[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2042395, member: 12443"] So tell us which one you prefer when shooting with wind? Ive added to this post as some will no doubt notice. Im strictly interested in the hunting aspect of all this, not simply shooting. Im running the 162 Hornady match bullets at close to 3400 fps in my 7x300 Wby. and i know the 7 STW can do likewise. The velocity difference between that and a 180 can make a difference as for wind also. I run 190s in my 300 Norma because i get the same velocity with them. Id much prefer the 300 Norma over the 7x300 Wby. As for shooting the 230s or 240s however, i used 200s in my 30x 378 with a 36” barrel for about 30 years. The 200s at 3500 fps, out performed the 240s till about 1600 yds. And id bet nobody reading this has killed an animal at 1600 yds, nor have i. If i were young and starting over today, i frankly wouldnt have any 7mm for long range hunting. I would instead have just a 300 Norma, And a large capacity 338. [/QUOTE]
