[QUOTE="CogburnR, post: 463116, member: 29174"] It doesn't matter too much I think. There may be some positives to both but they really are very close to each other. Real life performance in yards less than 50 different at best. Farthest I have shot an elk with one was 385 yards drt 160g Sierra sgk. The Kimber 8400 I have has a magazine length of around 3" so there is going to be no longer cartridges or long coal's. 7WSM has more powder capacity than a 7RSAUM and a shorter neck. I've shot both and they both shoot good. I don't think they are a 1000yard rifle for elk. Maybe 800 but the farthest I have shot elk is a little over 500yards and that was with a 270WSM(tipped the cow right over tho'). You can buy ammo for a 7WSM but good luck on the 7RSAUM. If I was going to get a 1000+ yard rifle I would probably get a 338 Lapua or Rum. [/QUOTE]
