[QUOTE="bkondeff, post: 1068712, member: 10444"] I'm not in the league of most on here and do not own a 300WM. I just see the apples to oranges analogy here. A 215 gr .308 bullet is simply longer for caliber than a 180gr .284. Simple math using (gr/284) derives a .284 bullet at 198gr to compare apples to apples. Obviously Berger has not made the longer .284 available so us 7mm homers will have to wait and concede for now. Now, because I like to have the last word(not likely), I'll answer the "why not want the more that the 300 offers in a 215" by saying, because I don't need more. Where I am, the .284 gets me easily to where I want to be. If I bite on the "bigger is better" argument after reaching my goal, then where do I stop.....338 Edge or Lapua with 300gr? Can't say enough how much I respect you guys like Jeff and Nate on the 7-300 post that went so long, as well as Travis at Rbros who often jumps in with very insightful info that helps guys like me learn. I do think the OP was asking about deer at 700, so following my argument I'd have a hard time arguing you would need more than a 140gr 6.5mm at 3000fps and neither a 7rm or 300wm. I have a new to me rifle in 7rm on its way that I intend to re barrel next year so I'll try and keep an open mind! [/QUOTE]
