just for grins
no mater how you look at the results the 300 has a minor advantage in both retained energy and trajectory
lets compare the 212 grain 30 cal, pushed at 2900 fps out of a 300 wm

to a 175 grain at 2800 fps

about 2" flatter trajectory and 500 additional ft lbs of energy for the 300 mag at 500 yards seems to me to hold an advantage
