[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 136816, member: 1007"] Real world experiance, yes. 2" of differance at 600 yards isnt much at all. What would make a bigger differance is if they were both shooting the same bullets at both cartridges max potential. On average it will be more like 10" of differance. In all reality, 10" of drop at 600 yards doesnt amount to anything important. If you dont know the yardage, 10" isnt going to help you in any way shape or form. Where it makes a differance is wind drift and energy. 2150 vs 1681. Thats almost 500 FPE differance. That could make a big differance depending oon the game hunted. Then you get into other variables such as bullet construction ect... There is nothing wrong with a 300 winnie. You just have to ask yourself what you want. Less bbl life and more energy or more bbl life and less energy. [/QUOTE]
