[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1001352, member: 5219"] Having owned several 7 STWs, and 7 RUMS plus several 300 Win mags and 300 RUMs I would choose the 300 win mag. Brass is more available. Barrel life will be longer than the STW. The heavy Berger 215 and 230 have higher BCs. Sure the STW can shoot flatter with a light bullet. Wind drift and retained energy are what matters for long range hunting. The 180 launched from a 7 STW is pretty good but IMO the big 308 bullets are better. More recoil may an issue but it is still manageable with out a brake. Broz's experiences with the 215 hybrid and the 300 Win mag says it all: I linked the middle of the thread where the field results begin. Hard to argue with this kind of success.

Have no idea where to find any.
