[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 331363, member: 12863"] I chose the 300 Mag years ago over the 7 Mag. and never looked back. I always thought the 7 Mag in my friends Remington had more recoil than another friends 300 Mag. As a kid looking in my reloading books I thought it did not make sense to own a less powerful cartridge (7 Mag) that had more recoil than a more powerful cartridge like the 300. A long time ago when there wasn't competition for animals I took elk to 400 yards and deer to six with 100 grain bullets in my 6mm Rem.. Moose with 7-08 and several elk as well. All one shot and none ever went more than 50 yards. Today I would not go anywhere with anything less than a 300 Mag because everything I have hit with that 300 has been a dramatic ending. SHot placement is paramount and bigger is better. Currently neither I or my wife hunt with anything less than 338 caliber. Neal [/QUOTE]
