[QUOTE="odoylerules, post: 1542589, member: 99160"] Hey guys, I’m looking to rebarrel my 7mm-Rem mag Ruger m77 mk II into a Sherman short cartridge. This will be a backcountry lightweight rig for deer and elk. I was leaning towards the 338, it’s been getting a ton more buzz than the 300. Looking at these two cartridges, I was struck at how little difference there was performance wise. Similar speed, energy and wind, with the 215 bullet having .6 mils less drop at 1000 yards. The 338 bullets are more expensive too, (around $24 a box). I’m starting to lean back towards the 300 now. The 215 hybrid is an extremely well proven bullet too. Am I wrong or missing anything? Thanks guys 300ss with Berger 215gr @2900fps [ATTACH=full]116483[/ATTACH] 338ss with Berger 250gr @2800fps [ATTACH=full]116484[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
