[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 489536, member: 20443"] There really is no argument that the 300 win mag using its heavier bullets will have similiar ballistics to the 7 mag and arrive with more energy. But at the same time it will have more recoil as well. I have a 7 rem mag and use the 150 gr range of bullets. I think as far as quality hunting bullets that will perform relaibly at all distances and velocities the 7 tops out at 160, the .30 bullets at around 200. Im looking for optimium recoil / bullet performance. I will shoot this combination more comfortably "which is important to me" than the heavier 200+ gr out of the 300 win mag. The seven tops out around 750-800 realistically and the 300 win mag using 200+ gr. bullets gives you a couple hundred more yards, maybe. The point is my seven is good way out there, more comfortable to shoot, comfortable to carry, and has adequete power in that range. If I plan on shooting past 800 I think there are better choices than the 300 win. At past 800 it would prefer to have a big 338 (RUM, edge, lapua) a heavier rifle (stock design would be much different than a sporter), 28-30" barrel, big optics, and a muzzlebreak. So for me I really see this as a need for more than one gun. For shooting out to my capabilities a 7 works fine.

For a majority ,well actually all, of my hunting (inside 600 yards at this time) I want a gun that I can carry and shoot comfortably without a muzzlebreak.

I think I could be friends with 300 win mag shooters, even if they think they're better than me ;) in the end we will both have dead animals way out there. [/QUOTE]
