[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 493328, member: 30902"] Beyond 600yds on Elk Sized game between the two I'd go with the .300 win mag? Why are you limited to only those two calibers? Are you on a tight budget buying a factory stock rifle or having one built? Yes there's a considerable difference in energy and BC between the 7mm and 7.62 bullets fired by the 7mm Rem Mag and 300 win mag. Pull up any ballistics chart and compare the performance of the two cartriges. Then got to Berger and Hornady's sites and look at the difference in BC's between the 162-180gr 7mm's and 7.62 168-210gr bullets.
