[QUOTE="7mmTikkaShooter, post: 1708156, member: 92915"] Ah the timeless debate rages on... I believe both chamberings will be excellent on virtually anything in North America. I shoot 7RM as I’ve always been a fan. 300WM is fantastic. Just my preference to shoot the 7. In an apples to apples comparison, with heavy for caliber bullets, they’re both going to fly at similar speeds with similar drop characteristics. The 300 will likely have slightly more recoil but also hit with more energy. If the recoil from the 300 creates a shooter error however, I promise the 7RM won’t be any better. If the greater energy is a factor, I challenge you to go shoot a target at 700 yards with the 7 and see if you can see the difference. I’ve seen steel t posts cut in half from a 7RM at that distance. Both will get you there in my opinion. Instead I’d look more into bullet selection. Use a good quality hunting bullet designed for the task at hand. Find one for each gun and compare how they shoot. Accuracy wins this contest but only with the right pill. [/QUOTE]
