[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 803984, member: 12995"] Hey now, I hate imports, too. LOL but the 7mmSTW is like the Lambo and the .338 Lapua is like the GTSR Viper.....Both will go 230, but the Lambo will get there faster...Sorry, I just like that analogy better since it's more appropriate vehicle-to- caliber ratio. The STW is the lightweight speedfreak, and the Lapua is the heavier hitting cousin. I think both are great calibers used in their proper respects... But for me, there is no need for anything that large, as the biggest thing around here is a black bear and whitetails. I do understand expansion diameter and heavier bullets retain more energy at equal distance and all that stuff. All I was saying is that there is no need to completely dog on the 7mm as if it were some slouch, ya know? It just seems like there is alot of disdain for the 7mm as if it were some bastard child of the bullet world. That was all I was wondering was why there is so little credit given, when it deserves more respect than it was getting. I do appologise for earlier, I will make no excuses. Now maybe we can get this forum back on the road... [/QUOTE]
