[QUOTE="Guest, post: 30617"] Having the choice of the two calibers listed I would go the rout of the 300Win mag. I personaly just think that the 180gr Nosler Partition is a fantastic bullet for big animals such as Elk and with the velocity that the 300 offers you could easly take shots on an animal that are less that ideal Say its the last day of the hunt and you finaly got that bull of a lifetime to come in , but he hangs up at 400yds quartering tward you , the best angle to get to the lungs and heart are behind that huge thick front shoulder , with a premium hunting bullet ie the Partition , you can bust through the front shoulder and still get to the vitals , plus doing that much damage to the heavy bone structure would probably break the animal down on the spot. Another option is the gun I have sitting in front of me waiting on loads to test , a SS model 7 Rem chambered in 300RSUM it has a 22" Hart barreland is wearing a Zeiss 2.5-10x50 scope and tops the scales at 7lbs loaded , this isin't going to give you the same power as the 300Win mag but still plenty enough for Elk at 400yds. No offense to the 7mm guys I just personaly like the 30 cal bullets for game. the 7mm will certianly do what your asking I just think that the 300 will do it a little better , yes with a little more recoil but a good recoil pad and an instock mercury recoil reducer will help this out alot , unless you very recoil sensitive then a good breke solves that. I like my 30-06Ai , I get just about the same velocity as factory 300Win and I can taylor my load. [/QUOTE]
