[QUOTE="load, post: 501038, member: 22789"] however the difference in energy between the the 300 and the 7mm is huge. the 300 will get 2813 safely (by manufacturers specs in a 24 inch tube) with a 225 grain hornady match with a bc just higher than the berger 180. in a 24" tube the fastest you can get safely with the 7 is (by manufactuers specs in a 24 inch tube) 2775 but lets just say you hot load one to the same velocity as the 300 at 2825 the energy difference is 1685ft# for the 300 (within the 1500 recomended for elk) and 1230ft# (at my elevation)for the 7mm (below recomendation for elk and hot loaded to boot) i still think the 7mm will work (and well at that) but the edge does go to the 300 especially if you hit the shoulder:Dgun) [/QUOTE]
