My 300 Norma Improved with a 230 a-tip handily beats the cited 7mm-08/180 load posted at all ranges but admittedly uses about 2x the powder with 50% more recoil which is a consideration one has to make to get essentially 2x the energy on target. at longer ranges.
I shoot a couple 7’s for a lot of things but for big animals and longer distances I like the 300 NMI and 338 Edge better.
