[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 1006721, member: 1441"] Maybe I'm missing something again, but a .300 win mag should push a 210gn SMK around 2800, which, compared to the theoretical ballistics for the .338 300gn SMK starting at a measly 2450fps, they end up within 60fps of each other at 1000 yards, but the 300 grainier obviously carries a full 50% more energy. The figures: .300 win mag 210gn SMK @ 2800 at 1000 yrds 1545fps - 1111 ft/lbs .338 win mag 300gn SMK @ 2450 at 1000 yrds 1485fps - 1466 ft/lbs .308 win 180gn VLD @ 2600 at 1000 yrds 1274fps - 666 ft/lbs Am I sourcing my info from the wrong place?? (FTE ballistics AE app) The .338 RUM isn't available in the Blasers, and this isn't supposed to be an all out thoroughbred log range rig. It's supposed to be a big game hunting rifle that I shoot steel out to and beyond 1000, and occasionally game to around 800-900 max. [/QUOTE]
