[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 951987, member: 12995"] #1, the .300 WinMag with 215 or 230's is not "much better"... It might give you another 100 yards of shootability. Both calibers are very capable. #2, when concerning BC's, you forget that Berger also makes a 7mm 180 Hybrid that has a .674 BC. And Matrix makes a 195gr 7mm bullet. And the .30 230 Hybrid OTM's have a BC of .719. That's only .045 BC difference. I wouldn't say that is "much higher"... Velocities are about the same when you compare case volume vs bullet weight, so all things being equal, the added weight and BC of the slightly larger .30 caliber bullets will only add about an extra 100-150 yards of effective range. Nobody who knows anything about trajectories will EVER say a .30 caliber shoots flatter than a 7mm caliber when case capacity vs. bullet weight are equal. That's like saying a .308 Win shoots flatter than a 7mm-08...Which is completely backwards. Higher BC doesn't mean a bullet shoots flatter. It means alot of things, but it doesn't mean squat about how flat the trajectory will be. Let's not over exaggerate things for our own agendas and ideals. [/QUOTE]
