[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 211603, member: 2736"] Brian They are both very close together in performance and most people use bullets in the 140gr to 160gr range for these cartriges so there's no real advantage to the 7mm rem mag over the 7WSM. I have both and they benefit from longer barrels,So if I had to recomend one or the other for your purpose it would have to be 7 WSM because in most cases when hunting barrel length can become an issue and with the short action a 26" barrel is not two ungainly. You can get by with a 24" barrel on ether if you use the 140, 150 and 160gr bullets and the short action 7 WSM with a 24" tube makes a neat package. If you were going to shoot targets only then I would recomend a 7mm Rem Mag with a 30" heavy taper barrel and 168gr+ bullets. I biuld a lot of 7WSM,s on 24'' barrels and they shoot realy well under all types of use. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
