[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 502552, member: 11717"] Greg, I don't see either one of us moving much on this. All else being equal, I don't see the 7 RM pushing a 180 VLD as fast as a 300 WM will push a 210. I already know I can push a 210 @ 2935 in my 300 WSM and have little doubt that the 300 WM will push it faster, especially in a longer barrel and I just don't think a 7 will push a 180 that fast. If you say you have seen it then I will take you at your word, but I will also say it's rare. My question to you is, what powders are you using in the 300 WM? Now you are hanging your hat primarily on the 180 Berger. So I will hang mine on the GS 177. Based on my experiences with the 300 WSM with 180 bullets and my experiences with GS 177 in the 300 RUM. I would not at all be surprised to see the WSM push the 177 to 3300 fps and will be finding out before long. That would be 400 fps faster than a very optimistic velocity of 2900 fps for the 7 RM pushing the 180 Berger. With those velocities, the 180 Berger ceases to be and effective expanding hunting bullet at less than 900 yds while the 177 maintains 1800 fps out to 1080 yds, 200 yds farther. I rest my case.... with my results and data, because there is no data for the GS 177. And since this is a hunting forum and thread, the 177 expands down to 1600 fps which extends it's range to 1280 yds. [/QUOTE]
