[QUOTE="speedbump, post: 177031, member: 547"] Curious stuff AJ. The powder estimation is too CatShooter. What dweebs we are to find such things interesting ! When I 1st had my 7mmRUM built I took it over to Indiana with some friends who regularly shot 1K steel with a variety of rounds. We were banging away contentedly when, by chance, I fired about 1/2 a second behind my pal shooting a .308. We both had solid hits, but the RUM beat the '08 there by a slim margin. Huh ? Weird, shooting noticably behind a good cartridge, and having it [i]passed in flight[/i] on the way to the target. I got interested in time-of-flight and found that with the 176 Cauterucio moving at 3,340fps, it had an almost exact 1 second time-of-flight to 1K. While the .308/ 175 was tipping over at the 600 yard mark, the 176 was rocketing over the furrows well beneath it, and getting there in almost exactly 1/2 the time. It was no less or no more accurate, but the wind sure had alot less time to get its gnarly fingers around the bullet ! [/QUOTE]
