[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1512777, member: 69478"] The 7mmRM will have nearly identical drift to a .300WM out to 1000 yards. Run the numbers with a 180 Berger in the 7mm at 3000 and the 215 Hybrid at 2950 in the Win Mag. The .300 will have 250-300lb more energy and the same wind drift. I’m a .30cal guy, but you can’t tell the difference between the two in the wind. I’m also a Hornady fan and when comparing the 162 ELD at 3100 in the 7mmRM vs. the 208gr ELD at 2950, the 7mm Remington hangs right with it in wind drift and beats it with a 180 ELD at 3000. Running the 225gr ELD at 2800 or the 230 Berger at the same speed will net a slight advantage in drift on the 7mm with 162-168s and the 180 Bergers but equal to the 180 ELD. There’s no real advantage other than energy with the .300 Winchester. The 7mm will drop less, have the same drift, and recoil less. [/QUOTE]
