[QUOTE="jensenj71, post: 2801393, member: 96797"] I am really surprised how close my 300NMI 26" barrel with 230 OTM at 3015fps is to my 338 Edge 30" barrel with 300SMK at 2750fps. Less drop, higher velocity and just slightly less energy at 1000yds and 1500yds. Granted, now that I have N570 and ADG brass, I could lean a little harder on the Edge and get another 100fps. I just want something that isn't 52" long and 15lbs that I am comfortable with out to 1000yds. The 300NMI is significantly more than my 300WM and a little more than my 300RUM. The advantage of the 300NMI seems to be brass life. If rifle weight and a magazine feed isn't an issue then a 338 is very hard to beat. If I was shooting 1000+yds I would definitely grab my 338 Edge or 338 Terminator. [/QUOTE]
