[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1815558, member: 93895"] I've loaded for and shot a great many calibers & cartridges at distance. Within 300 yds, you won't notice a huge difference when talking medium game. When shots start getting on out farther, the wind is not your friend and can cause a miss or nonleathal wound. 180s out of my 300 wm was lightning fast killers but the couldn't begin to beat the wind like 180s out of a 7mm. Move up to 230s in the 300 then they will hang with 7mm 180s but recoil of the 230s will then require a much heavier rifle or much greater shooter skill to manage that recoil enough to make accurate shots. Bryan Litz has an article posted on line somewhere on this very subject matter comparing 30 cal to 7mm with these very same statements. I didn't have to hear it from Bryan to believe it as I have experienced it for myself. [/QUOTE]
