[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1707809, member: 104268"] Both should max out in the vicinity of 2925 fps ± 25 fps based on commonly available load data for those weight class bullets and a 26" barrel. I have a 24" 300WM, and had a 24" 7mm, and this is also in line with my experience reloading for those guns. There's no hard number, as each gun and reload is going to be unique. For all practical purposes though, they will be the same velocity. The ballistic coefficients and sectional density are near enough identical at those bullet weights. For target shooting, 7mm will recoil less and be a smidge cheaper to shoot if reloading. For hunting, the 300 WM will hit considerably harder (~15-20% more momentum and energy, 10% bigger hole).
