[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1287616, member: 68875"] I have rifles chambered in both cartridges you are asking about. Both have their place and usage. My .300RUM is strictly an elk rifle. Too much for deer in my opinion and what I have seen on game. It is a heavy rifle pushing a 215 Hybrid at 3100fps. I witnessed two people take elk last year with it. 1 @ 858 yards, elk dropped at impact. 1 @ 437 yards, again, dropped at impact. It have taken several other elk from 90 to 700+. Unfortunately, only one by me, back in 1999. I have not drawn an elk tag since. I do not know where people are saying brass is hard to find, I see it almost weekly on store shelves from Norma and Nosler. And it is far superior to Remington brass too. But I am still using my 110 pieces of factory Remington brass that I boutique in 1997. Always loaded pretty hot. About 7-8 firings on it so far. Still tight primer pockets. My 7RM is a hand-me-down from my late father-in-law. It pushes a 180 Hybrid or 183 SMK right at 3000fps. Again, I have watched it take an elk at only 75 yards. My 14 year old daughter used it to take the first elk ever harvested with the rifle last year. It is a 9.5# re-worked sporter. Recoil is nice with the brake. [/QUOTE]
