[QUOTE="Nomosendero, post: 423505, member: 3622"] What caught my eye here is the fact that you don't load ammo, yet! You need to decide whether or not you will & you most likely will if you decide to shoot alot, this decision has a big bearing on these 2 cartridge choices. If you don't load, it's 7RM hands down, the factory load choices with good bullets of different weights is vast indeed for the 7, but very limited for the 264. And if you do load, the 7 would still be a great choice, but I would lean toward the 264. I say that because you allready have a 300, which takes care of Elk and above, you can load the 300 with the 180 or 200 Accubond or the 210 Berger at 2900 or so & the Berger load would be very close to a 7RM 180Berger load at 2950 in ballistics, but with more terminal effect. For Deer & Antelope & small, the 264 will mirror the results of a 257 Wea with comparable bullets for cal 6.5 120gr. vs 115 257cal, 125 Nos Part vs 120 Nos Part., etc for those that favor the "trajectory magnum" mpbr type thinking, so about as flat as it gets there. Plus, for the long range shooter, the 130 & 140 Berger blows the 25 cal away & with the 140 Berger at 3100-3200 runs with the best of them & way out there do better than the 7mm bullets as a rule under the 180 Berger. Just my thoughts. I have a 300 & used the 7RM years ago, but I just got a 264, I guess I believe it. [/QUOTE]
