[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 180884, member: 4785"] [b]7mm vs 30cal[/b] Hi all the 300win mag with 190's is a great round but compare the bullet drop and energy of the 300 win mag with 190gr matchKings to even the 7mm Rem SAUM with 175gr matchKings and past 1000yds the 7mm has les wind drift les bullet drop les recpin but MORE energy. also it can go in a long or short action and semiauto factory rifles. the AR10 is available and I'm sure you could do the m14's aswell. For a general issue sniper cartridge the 7mm SAUM would fit the requirements better than the 300 Win Mag. But for special issue the new 375 Chey Tac would be verry good and better than a 50. If a Chey Tac was not an option I would choose a 338 Edge over a 338 Lapua as it is a better fit in standard actions. Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
