7mm or .300?

[coachcw]

Let's not argue over c cups or d cups , there both good !

This is a no brainer. The 300WM will consistently lift elk off the ground. The 7mmRM is only adequate for elk if your good with a follow up shot and have a team of experienced trackers.

.300 Win Mag has more knockdown power (heavier bullet) if you can tolerate the increase in recoil.

They are both great.  It really is a preference thing.   Knockdown power is a myth.  The bullet only hits as hard as the rifle kicks.   Never had one knock me down yet.

depends how bad of a shot you are.  Worse of a shot the bigger the rifle you need. Unless you have to compensate for something, then go really big.

Facts. You must need a .50bmg I'm guessing lol

Actually I own quite a few rifles ranging from .17 hmr through .450 bushmaster. So I have little rifles and big rifles am I over compensating for something or not? I love all types of rifles just prefer the .300 win mag (I have 2) over the 7mm. By the way so do the snipers in our military. Are they over compensating too? I'll trust their judgement.

Ive shot several elk with both calibers never had my .300 lift elk off the ground! I now use my 7 for all my elk hunting and never had a problem killing elk!

Lol! 30-06 is more than enough, I think 7mm is just fine! Especially with today's bullets. Look on utube, there is a video of a doe getting shot behind the shoulder with a 50 bmg and it ran over 100 yds! A big caliber doesn't mean the animal will drop.

I know, I was just giving the 7mm guys a jab. I've killed elk with my 300, but my best bull yet died just as fast with one shot from my .280 (7mm Express)

I love my 7mm rem, but I think I would trade for a 7mm weatherby.  Dont see any reason for going away from 7mm.

If you love it, STW it.   

[h2ofowlr]

Both good guns.  I have two of the .7mm and one of the .300 Win Mag.  My next custom gun going into Benchmark will be the .7mm.

[Kowsrule30]

7mm Wetherby in my case.... Not one 300....   

[Wanttohuntmore]

I have both, the 300 will move more mass faster than the 7mm, but the BC is less.   out to 600 yds I'd prefer the 300.

[TwoSixFourWins]

Where is the box for 264 Win Mag?

[whitetailslyr]

7mm for sure.... that's my bias opinion. Mine kills the deer quite nicely.
