A 7mm RM will do, as a rule, 3,000 - 3.050 all day long with a 160 (and more). That the various component makers don't acknowledge that is about liability with the aging round.

A 338 Federal and 7mm RM with a 160 are distinctly different cartridges, though each will obviously kill well.

I just happen to know what I'd rather be running past 450 yards, and it isn't the 338 Federale...
