[QUOTE="LTH181818, post: 3037998, member: 101915"] Every time there is discussion on elk cartridges, the rifle discussion seems to be missing. After taken many bulls with .270/.280's I went to 7RM, 338's then to 300 mags. Now like 7mm's with heavy bullets. ( rangefinders ) Killed more Elk before RangeFinders than after. Hitting lungs was never a big problem inside 350 yards. Now twice that distance because better gear, is not that hard. I would rather carry weight in optics, than my rifle. I like light ( bare ~8lb ). If I was using a .300 it would need to be heavier in order for me to shoot as well at long-range. If the recoil was the same I would always shoot bigger. My opinion in responding to your question, I think the 7mm rem. will give you a couple hundred more killing range. I have no idea what your comfort level or abilities are. [/QUOTE]
