[QUOTE="Broz, post: 812292, member: 7503"] I think I will make one more post on this and then be done with it. All I want to say is, and I have done this on many occasions with 7mm's / 180's. You need to try to spot your hits / misses, or see, if you can see it, the impact or dust cloud of a 180 gr 7mm with a MV of 3150 plus, off a rock at 1500 yards compared to a slower MV 300 gr .338 with a MV of 2800 fps. Or listen to the report back from the two of them off rock or steel at 1000. Or actually watch game hit with either of them from 1000 plus. Believe me when I tell you they are both good rifles, but not even close to the same league for terminal performance. Now take it past a mile and good luck even trying to tell if you hit the target until you get there with a 7. But with a 338 it will be evident. Jeff [/QUOTE]
