[QUOTE="Broz, post: 976512, member: 7503"] Well I have owned and built several of the 7mm-300's since the thread was started a few years ago. There are two going together on my bench right now. To tell the honest truth, I feel little or no recoil difference between the 300 win with a 215 Berger and a 7mm-300 with a 180. Both rifles weigh the same and have the same barrel contour too. They do also have identical brakes. We typically use around 74 to 76 gr of H-1000 in the 7-300 and 77 gr in the 300 win. So powder consumption is a mute point that few precision hand loader would notice a difference. I still hunt with the 300 win to take advantage of the higher BC of the 215's over the 180's and the added impact energy. I have compared both side by side in the field on many range days. The 300's high BC offerings starts to pay off in less drop, less wind drift and more energy at the outer limits of where most would hunt with either. I am optimistic that when Berger gets caught up and releases the 195 for the 7mm, and if it hold true to proposed BC's. This could all change. I will be retesting and re-evaluating side by side. But for now it is what it is and number don't lie. The 300 win is highly under estimated. Mostly from wrongful internet postings. Jeff [/QUOTE]
