[QUOTE="backyardsniper, post: 924656, member: 20657"] The 300 gr bullet does have more energy but actually not a lot more when you consider the difference in velocity that is possible with the 30-378. The biggest thing I'm looking at is the ballistics. With a 230 berger running around 3050-3150 which I think is very doable, you're looking at around 19-20 moa to get to 1000yds which means it needs approx 4moa to get to say 400yds. Now for a hunting rifle this is important because while hunting I can pre dial 2moa into my scope making me 2" high at 100yds and only 8" low at 400yds so in the even that a quick shot is nesacary I can point and shoot out to about 400yds which is as far as most of the shooting goes on where I hunt. When you get into the heavier 30 cal bullets the 30 cal becomes to the 338 like the 7mm is to the 30 cal, longer slimmer high bc bullets being driven at extreme velocity. Not to mention It is a cool round and not everybody has one. Do the accumarks produce the kind of accuracy to be able to hunt with them at the magical 1000yd line though? [/QUOTE]
