[QUOTE="bushwackr, post: 957055, member: 77802"] Hi carl how's it going, anyway I was trying to look at these cartridges two ways ballisitcally, and longevity. I come to a conclusion that the 7 maybe be flatter shooting with more velocity,but I feel the 338 will hang on better in the wind and offer better barrel life. Like Harperc said it tends to get a tad drafty this way. Especially when I head to the western part of the state. I would think that the heaver 338 would buck the wind better. On the other hand. The 338 uses 250,and 300gr pills that's a lot of bullet hitting good meat if I make a bad wind call, cause im not perfect. I don't know if the 168 I planned on putting thru the 7 would make such a mess. Mudrunner. What ammo did you run thru your 338, factory or hand loads, did you try diffrent bullets all the usuall stuff to develop a load [/QUOTE]
