[QUOTE="snookntarpon, post: 947719, member: 31823"] Im am more for the 7mag. 160 gr is plenty elk medicine and the BC on a 160 gr 7mm bullet is much higher than that of a 168 gr 300 wm. If you want to throw heavier slugs out far then the 300 is a better bet with 180+ grains. But i have never seen an animal go down with a 300 that a 7 rem mag would not have been able to take down. Also, I have seen my share of animals run a long ways with a 300 as well as with 7 mags. Recoil on a 7 mag is a thing of beauty. I have a 7 mag that I'm loaning to my dad for this fall's elk hunt. Shoots 1"3 shot groups at 300 with 140 gr accubonds. FLAT shooter! snookntarpon [/QUOTE]
