[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 489592, member: 20443"] I actually agree with most of what long time long ranger said, at least with the 06 improved cases doing everything the 7 mag can do. I think the 7 rem mag is more ideal for deer size game but still effective on elk out to 600 yards. If I was looking at going over 700 yards on elk I would probably skip .30 cal with exception to the .300 RUM or some .30 cal wildcats and go to a 338 RUM or better. I was actually looking to do a 280 AI but came across a 7 rem deal that was too good to pass up. I think the 7-300 is interesting but for me just not worth the case prep, getting new dies and so forth for maybe 150 fps. The stw will get better performance but then Im getting out of comfortable recoil and looking at a muzzle break. If I was really looking to step up in performance I would look at the 7 RUM but again this has it limitations as well, reduced barrel life, recoil, huge powder consumption and again if I want more than 800 yards Im going to a 338. In the end I think the 7 Rem Mag fits well, I wish the 7-300 or "mashburn" had been made the standard all those years ago instead of the rem mag but it wasnt. So I'll stick with great brass available with little prep, great dies, and great performance in the 7 rem mag. [/QUOTE]
