[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 293185, member: 11717"] I used to hunt with a 7mm RM. Now I have a 300 WSM and 300 RUM (and a 7RM). So first, I would recommend the 7 WSM or the 300 WSM over the RM & WM. The 300 WM will shoot a 180 gr bullet about as well a 7RM will shoot a 160 bullet. Their trajectory and rang will be very similar with the 300 delivering a little more payload on target. For elk size critters, I would recommend a 30 cal bullet or more, but a well placed shot with a good performing 7mm bullet will do the job. With either cartridge you are looking at about 900 yds hunting range, give or take, with most loads, IMO. Hope this helps, -MR [/QUOTE]
