I'm with Dober....as a LR cartridge,comparing a 160 from the 338 to a 160 in a 7 mag is like comparing an asprin tablet to a javelin....forget the ballistic table stuff,which Dober should not even have to go through to "prove" it up,though the tables do tell the story.

And zero them both 2-3" up at 100 and then back off for point blank range;even to 500-600 yards and the 7mm 160 will leave the 338 firmly in the dust.....

The 338 Federal has its' virtues but competeing with a 7 mag as a LR cartridge ain't one of them.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
