[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 501899, member: 505"] Just for reference since I have several rifles in both 7mm remington and 300 winchester and had a 1000 yard range where people shot both regularly. These are numbers my rifles shoot and basically about the average of others on my range. The 300 winchester will shoot the 208 amax-210 berger just under 3000 fps. Most accuracy loads are 2950-3000 fps. The 7mm remington shoots the 162 amax on average with best accuracy right around 3050 fps. I don't know if this helps or not but these are numbers I have in my loading notes from my range. The 300 winchester will push the 180 grain bullets on average with best accuracy around 3150 fps with some accuracy loads getting over 3200 fps. My personal accuracy load with two different 300 winny's is just over 3000 fps with the 200 nosler accubond with a .588 bc.This is an excellent elk load. My best accuracy loads with the 7mm remington shoot the 175 sierra game king between 2850 and 2900 fps. Plenty of people on here shoot these two so if people will be honest with the velocities we can come up with a good average of what each will do. I don't get royalties from either winchester or remington concerning either of these cartridges and could care less. I don't think anybody else does either. As far as the 177 GS bullet I did limited velocity testing in several rifles with a few bullets. In my 300 winchesters I had no problem pushing them over 3200 fps. I think what MR was talking about is the 177 GS seems to get on the high side of the velocity range. From seeing hundreds of big game animals taken all over north america with numerous cartridges this is my opinion of both. The 7mm remington is a good choice for caribou, deer and antelope size game capable of long range kills on this size game with several different bullets. With several premium hunting bullets it can be used on elk at ranges within the cartridge capability. It is not a good choice for long range hunting of large bull elk where you can experience a high wounding loss with marginal bullets available for the purpose. The 300 winchester is a great all around all purpose rifle. With a wide range of available 30 caliber bullets it can be loaded to do well on all sizes of animals in north america even getting into the minimum for large bears and long range hunting of large big game. Because of the high BC's per caliber with heavy premium hunting bullets, particularly some of the specialty bullets, it can reach further with better capability on large big game than smaller calibers of similar case capacity.
