[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 266272, member: 4191"] You would have to provide your definition of superior, in order to receive a meaningful response. Your data demonstrates that the bullets fired from the 7mm RM retain higher velocity at long range than the bullets fired in the 300 WM. Which is why I claim the 7mm RM is effective for ~100 additional yards compared to the 300 WM. Impact velocity is critical to ensure expansion of hunting bullets that are designed to expand in game animals. Bullet expansion helps to ensure the bullet's energy is spent on the animal, rather than on the hillside behind the animal. If the bullet doesn't expand and all the bullet's energy is spent impacting the dirt on the far side of the animal, you better be really good at following blood trails. If you're going to shoot animals with expanding-style bullets impacting at ~1350 fps, you better aim for their brain or central nervous system. If you can hit them in the brain or central nervous system @ 1200 yds you're all set. Do you normally use full metal jacketed or other non-expanding bullets to shoot big game animals? [/QUOTE]
