[QUOTE="Brent, post: 30612, member: 99"] There might be more capacity in the 300 wm than the 7 mag, but also as Michael is saying, the 30 calibers larger bore diameter will create less pressure than a 7, when burning the same amount of powder in the same case capacity. Now add more capacity and it's even more efficient and produces higher MV yet. Get the 300 wm, or 300 Ultra and a good brake, then you got power to drive the higher BC bullets with less wind drift and higher retained energy at LR. The 300 Ultra with a brake don't kick as much as even a 308 does... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Savage's have the twist adjustable ON/OFF brake, the one on my Striker works really well. The 300 Ultra is a 26" tube as well...
