[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 916795, member: 2460"] Mud I don't hate the 7mm RM or any of the 7's, I still load ammo for my dad and he has taken a lot of moose including a 5x6 and 6x6 Roosevelt Elk and a boatload of sitka blacktail deer with my handloads for his 7mm over the last 20 years, moose aren't that hard to kill but required follow up shots, something I never had to do with the 30 cals, both of the elk traveled several hundred yards after solid shoulder hits and required another shot to end the run.. Lrt307 is 100% accurate in his guess that ammo selection was the cause of poor performance, I believe it was Federal ammo either the Hi-Shok Pro Hunter or Game King in 150 gr or 160gr can't remember exactly but it was "cheap" at the time , and of course cheap was better and 50 boxes were purchased! that ammo soured my view of the 7mm and I would never feel secure with a 7mm in bear country, I would opt for the 30'06 over the 7mag every time..even though handloads in the original Barnes X and the Fail Safe bullets did a great job on shoulder shots on big bull moose ! I bought my old man a Ruger 454 Casull and loaded up 100 rounds of Cast Performance LBT 360 gr bullets with a healthy dose of H110 for bear defense since he refuses to part with his beloved 7mm Rem Mag The OP was asking about the 7 Rum vs 300 Rum on big game up to elk and moose, in my experience the 30 cal is always a better DRT caliber bullet weight for bullet weight, Bc for Bc and yard for yard given the same case [/QUOTE]
