[QUOTE="brentc, post: 610718, member: 16938"] Lots of variables to take into account here. When breaking it down you need to compare apples to apples and it's hard to do because each chambering shines in different areas. Either one will be more than adequate for your needs. For higher performance for the recoil produced, the 7mm Rem is the one to go with. The biggest difference when comparing the two comes down to Ballistic coefficient. In general terms. When comparing the 7mm Rem. with a 168 grain bullet with a 300 Win mag with a 168 grain bullet, the 7mm will deliver higher amounts of down range energy with less wind drift than the 300 Win mag because of a higher ballistic coefficient. This effect takes place until you start getting into the heavier, high BC bullets in the 300 Win. At that point the recoil in the 300 Win is a lot less forgiving. [/QUOTE]
