[QUOTE="Overkill338, post: 1662984, member: 110473"] 30 caliber mags have bullets with amazing BC to buck the wind a little better, and get you less drop to deal with. Using the Hornady Precision Hunter as an example. .308 with the 178 ELD-X, zero at 200 has 50.2" of drop at 500 yards. .270 with 145 ELD-X, same zero, has 37.6" of drop at 500. 6.5 CM 143gr, 44.5" of drop at 500 6.5 PRC 143gr, 36.2" drop 7-08, 150gr, -43" @ 500 7 RM, 162gr, -35.6" @ 500 7 STW, 162gr, -33" @ 500 Turdy-AhhShux, 178gr, -44.3" 300 WSM, 200gr, -40.9" 300 WM, 200gr, -39.5" 300 PRC, 212gr, -38.3" 300 Norma, 225, -37.2" 300 RUM, 220, -37.1" 30-378 Roy, 220, -34.1" Ok, you get the idea I guess. I've typed so much now I forget what my point was lol [/QUOTE]
