I havnt seen the loadings for the 200gr. wildcat bullets, but you are compareing it to a 300 Rum with a regular hunting bullet, you can get better bullets for the 300 Rum which will out perform the STW at 500+ yards. Now for the average hunting bullet comparison, to be fair lets look at some similar bullets. The 7mm STW, shooting a 175gr. barnes X bullet drops 34.05" at 500 yards. Now we cant get a 175gr. bullet in the 300 RUM so we have to go with a 180 for a close comparison of the two. The 300 RUM shooting a 180gr. Barnes x bullet drops 30.09" at 500 yards. That is about 4" flatter shooting than the STW that you claim to be a flatter shooting gun.
