[QUOTE="kshunter, post: 1045052, member: 19377"] Not sure why we came up with different numbers but lets just use ur numbers. My thought is that I don't pay much attention to drop because we all deal with that and it is easily compensated for. As far as wind goes I was just a little surprised that the 338 running 475fps slower from the starting line was only 8" difference at 1k. Last I don't think there is a critter out there that would notice the difference of 150 or so pounds of energy especially given the fact that the 338 is packing 70gr more lead and more frontal area. I just didn't feel that the 300wm was a hotrod compared to the 338wm. Rather my impression was that the 338 is a sleeper that possibly has some potential. Ie vega with a 400sbc flat tops and mild cam. Probably not the fastest ride around but will no doubt get the job done. Hey I'm a 30cal fan and have shot and continue to load for the 300wm. Just intrigued me a bit. [/QUOTE]
