Really? You need to do some more figuring because you dogged the 338 and exagerated the B.C. on the 165 Speer. The real B.C. on the Speer 30 cal 165 SPBT is .477 not .520. And the actual speed of the 338 is 3340fps.The 338 IS flatter with a 180gr than the 300 with a 165gr, I just updated my calculations with the balistics calculater and edited my results so go back to the second page of this thread and have a look at the real results using the corrected velocity and the real B.C.
