[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1087498, member: 12995"] I think that even then, you still won't hardly notice a difference. A well-placed kill shot from either will harvest the animal. I think once you get to a certain animal size/thickness/toughness (adding yardage into the mix, as well) you need to step up to something more formidable for your game. But to compare nearly apples-to-apples in 7mm vs .30 caliber, the 7mm RM vs .300 WM, and the 7mm STW vs .300 Ackley... Using 180's in the 7mm's and 215's in the .30 calibers, you can effectively take similar game at similar distances with either set of calibers when compared to one another, respectively. This is just my opinion. I own 5 .30 caliber rifles... .308 Win, .30-30 Win, .30-06 AI, .300 WM, and .300 Ackley. I am clearly not opposed to .30 caliber weapons. I also have more 7mm rifles than that, in a variety of chamberings, as well... 7mm-08, 7mmRM (multiples), and 7mm STW (multiples). And I will be adding a .280 AI sooner or later. So, as you can see, my bias towards one or the other is only swayed by my personal preference. I like both calibers. But my allegiences lean towards the 7mm's if I had to pick one over the other. Not because I feel it is better, but because that is simply my preference. Everyone has one. [/QUOTE]
