[QUOTE="winmag, post: 632536, member: 22166"] Very nice work. I see you used 3200 fps as a velocity ceiling. Smart. I've hered conflicting reports on shoving Bergers any harder/faster. I'm a 30 cal freak, especially for an allround rifle, near to far, gopher to griz, but I will readily admit that the 338 is in a different class, especially for LR work. Your graph shows what many have preached for years. Bigger is better period in the energy department when comparing optimal to optimal BC's. It's pretty clear where each round gives up to the next. Many folks here may choose to disagree with it, & I'm sure they'll chime in sooner or later. Be interesting to see what they say. As a side note, will a 7WSM even shove a bullet that heavy to 3200fps? Not that it matters, cause all the bullets on the graph started at the same 3200fps, thus rendering all the cartriges dead even at the starting line. This should make for an excellent discussion. Great thread starter. [/QUOTE]
