[QUOTE="winmag, post: 641335, member: 22166"] If your 300wsm is accurate why change it? Put a brake on it if recoil is a concern, or try a mercury recoil reducer if you dont want a brake. With the current offerings of bullets, the 30 trumps the 7 in every single catagory Including better B.C. bullets, & when you take momentum into account it really trumps the 7. The only place a 7 wins is in the recoil department, but imo, a good muzzle brake makes that a non issue. Now I'm perfectly aware you dont need all that energy for deer. I'm also aware that a 6.5 or a 270 or a 7 has plenty of medicine for a deer, & if you choose that route that's all well & good. but don't buy into that "7 has better B.C." b.s. Run the numbers on JBM if you want to see them for yourself. If you don't care for brakes, & its strictly a trade off of recoil but still wanting to keep high BC bullets your on the right track. Just don't sell your current cartrige short. [/QUOTE]
