[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 211857, member: 11717"] I have hunted with solely with the 7mm Rem Mag for over 20 yrs now. My bullet of choice was the 160 Nosler partition. It has been a great rifle and given me 100% success. Having said that, I would probably vote for the 7mm WSM and recommend trying Noslers new 150 gr E-Tip. That outfit will effectively kill any game in the lower 48 and all but the *Big Bears* in AK. It will kill a Big Bear but probably not very quickly. James Jones also makes a good point about the belted case. I had one fail on me once. Also, have you considered the 7mm RUM or STW? Those cartridges have comparable (maybe better) ballistics than the 300 WM. Another consideration, how far do you want to be able to shoot game? Ballistic tables suggest bullet performance to about 800-900 yds for the Rem Mag and WSM. Either one will serve you well. Good shootin' BTW, I lived in IL for 4 yrs, not by my choice...but by the USAF choice...my condolence to you. [/QUOTE]
