[QUOTE="mrb1982, post: 950755, member: 50419"] I have went through this same converstation in my own head. I own a 7RM Sendero. Great gun. I am just finishing up a load with 180's so I am not sure what the velocity is gonna be at yet, but comparing to other people's velocities and my powder charge I should run in the 2900 area. I personally think the 300 win mag is kind like a 7RM with a happy ending. You get the added weight with the heavier bullets. Otherwise they tend to kinda be like brother and sister almost. The reason I still sit with a 7RM is some reasons kinda not related to ballistics. Reason 1) Even with the 180 hybrids seated almost to the lands, I can still fit them in the magazine. Not a big deal, but kinda nice for hunting jsut in case a follow up. Not that I really think it is faster than single loading another round, and not a deal breaker, but just kind of a perk. I think from what I have read, some of the longer 30 cal bullets will turn a factory rifle into a single feed unless using a different mag box, but really is dependent on the rifle most times. I am not sure if the 300 win mag falls in the category or not. Reason 2) Pretty reasonable cost to shoot. Brass is not terribly difficult to find one way or another. With that said, 300 win mag isn't hard to find or as expensive as some of the other more uncommon/larger calibers. 3) My other long range equipment doesn't really allow for super long range stuff, so if I had a bigger caliber, it wouldn't really matter if I could kill something at 1500yds.
