Default RE: How the .243 stacks up

Sierra gamekings................SD....................Coe ff.
.243,100gr.SBT..................242............... .......430


7mm, 140gr SBT................248......................416

How about these

AccuTip..........................BC............... ....Muzzel velocity............Energy
243, 95ge......................355..................... ...3120......................2053

7-08140gr......................486.................. ......2860......................2542

That is just shy of 500 lbs difference. And their is only 2" of drop difference at 500 yards between the tow. Not to mention the fact the 243 has 462 pounds less at that distance.
