[QUOTE="7ultra, post: 91714, member: 2152"] Tell that to the top selling charts for dies and brass. For practical purposes its hard to beat either of these two oldies but goodies. Their very common place, easy to load for and last time I checked, will still kill (thats why I have both, well the 300 made way for a 338 win, another history book member eh?). I wouldn't discount them just because of their age, unless your into sexy new selling points like "ultra" and "short". Now between the two cartridges, I think its a wash. If I had to buy new all over again, I would pick the 7. I like the way it shoots, how it kicks (mine is chambered in a nice and lite M77, and is a ***** cat), and what it does to deer (drops them, hard...). Now thats not to say I wouldn't ever buy a 300 WM again though. Its a pretty thing watching 200gr SMKs work their magic over LR. I would say, go with 7, load a nice 160gr pill and don't look to much at the up and coming hype. [/QUOTE]
