Besides, a better comparison would be a 200gr .308 compared to a 220gr .323 @ a similar velocity, that is the real world difference. The difference in a 200gr .308 compared to a 200gr .323 of similar construction would be more in the neighborhood of 150-200fps @ similar pressure from the same sized case. That is a sizable difference, about like the difference between a .300 Win and the "06".




This hair-splitten gem has certainly moved you into medal contention...

Boy, there's nothing quite like being lectured by a junkie



My primary objection to your post was the energy argument... I notice you've conveniently ignored your ACTUAL argument.



Obviously a line has to be drawn somewhere as to what constitutes a rational/meaningful jump up (or down) in caliber. I frankly can't fathom Olin going to the staggering expense to release a new cartridge only to make the marginal .015" jump to 8mm. Beyond .308" a more meaningful jump would have been .338 or, better yet, .358... they'd have had something then. As it stands one might say they have, in essence, a "Metric 300 Magnum."



Anyone who thinks this cartridge offer's anything a 300 WSM deosn't alreday offer is a Gold Medalist in The Mental Gymnastic's...
