I was doing so research on the Winchester ballistics calculator (Get yours now for Apple and Android!

) and I found out that about of all the carriages on the app, the only cartridges that shoot flatter and with less wind drift than the .280 Rem in 140 grain ballistic silver tip were light 7mm Mag and 7mm WSM loads.

Why have I never heard about this? Has anyone? Is it just really rare?

Thanks,
Ken B.
