[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 52407, member: 34"] Hello Ric and others. That's why the 7/300 Weatherby was sooooo popular a while back for LR hunting in PA. until we built the big 30s with 240 gr bullets and the 338---300 gr which will beat the 7mm bulets. Your bullet choices are 162, 168, 175 and 180 for the most part. Boyd, you might want to check the actual BC of the 162 gr 7mm bullet. Not sure if it is an HONEST .7. I come up with a .534 BC for the 162 gr and .636 for the 168 Gr. I did get some custom 186 gr 7mm bullets with a rated BC of .7 but never a 162 gr. You can match up ballistically the 7/300 and the 7STW with long barrels on each. I still have a 7/300 Weatherby switch barrel gun. I can take the Tomahawk barrel off and replace with a 30" 7/300 Weatherby chambered barrel. You need the 9 twist (7mm) barrel to make it work well. Just soooooooooo many options to choose from. That's what makes this LR game so much fun. Later DC [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [ 11-16-2002: Message edited by: Darryl Cassel ] [/QUOTE]
