[QUOTE="Jumpalot, post: 328565, member: 4867"] I currently own a 300WM, but I'm having a 7RM built right now by Kirby. I've killed antelope, deer, elk and buffalo with my 300WM shooting a 180 grain bullet and it has performed perfectly. I'm building the 7RM to shoot the Berger 180 grain bullet. I won't be giving up much velocity from the 300 and the 7mm bullet will have a much higher BC. I just ran it through Exbal real quick. If I start the 7mm bullet out 250 fps slower than the 300 Accubond, the 7mm will need about 2 moa more come-ups at 1000 yds. But, the 7mm will have about 100 lbs more energy and will drift almost 10" less in a 10mph wind. Sorry, you didn't ask about all this, kinda did it for myself. I'm not sure what you can do with a 300 WM that you can't do with a 7RM. I love my 300 and I'll not sell it, but I'm hoping to grow to love the 7RM when it's done. All this from a guy who swore he'd never own a 7RM. LOL!! [/QUOTE]
