[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 550536, member: 10"] If you look at the balance of bore diameter and capacity, the 7mm STW and the 300 RUM are very similiar. Both are very easy to load for, not overly finicky either. Both work best with heavier bullet weights, both will have similiar barrel life. Ballistically, they are similiar. When each drives bullets of similiar sectional density, they will both produce similiar velocity results. where the 300 stands alone is terminally, the heavier, larger diameter bullets just have more authority on big game at longer ranges then the 7mm. If your only hunting deer, this is a moot point, either would be PLENTY for your needs, but if you plan on shooting past 1000 yards or hunt elk past 800 yards, the 300 will give you an advantage if your shot lands a bit on the fringes of the vitals.
