[QUOTE="Broz, post: 799966, member: 7503"] Here is why I shoot a 300 win even though I have built several good 7mm's. The current selection of 300 bullets will better retained velocity at distance, and have BC's at or above the most popular 7mm hunting bullets. You named target shooting, the 300 win barrel will still be shooting accurately after the throat starts to go in the 7. Plus you will always spot hits on rocks and steel better with larger bullets. You can get brass almost anywhere as well as ammo for the 300 win. 7STW, not so much. You mentioned Elk, I will always opt for a heavier higher BC bullet for elk and why I shoot a 300 win even after extensive testing with the 7-300 which is very close to a 7 STW. I like a good 7mm, and I like the STW but there is a reason the 7's have never taken over the 300's. They are close in many situations, but when I weigh the results and add in distance the 300 win is still my choice. Jeff [/QUOTE]
