Let me get this straight......you're perfectly thrilled with a light for caliber bullet reaching 3285 even with the radically lower SD and BC of the 150gr.
Did you consider a 140gr bullet in your 7 Wby?
I briefly ran 140's, even took an elk with one, but I much prefer 150's in the 7mm & 308 calibers. My longest ever witnessed kill was 389 yards on a running pig. That shot was with a box stock 280 Rem with 150 CoreLokt commercial ammo. I am not interested in flight path characteristics as concerns sd's or bc's when it comes to hunting bullets. I just wanna hunt and am perfectly happy doing so with my current load in the 300 WSM. I have no concerns at all that it will take me out to 500 yards should I desire to do so.
My current self imposed distance of engagement is no more than 300 yds until I get a good turret scope.
