[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 875204, member: 11717"] The 7 RM will have about 100-200 yds more effective range but the 30.06 will be a slightly more effective killer inside 600 yds. The reason I say that is the .06 can deliver a .308 cal 200 plus grain bullet vs a .284 cal 180 gr bullet. Sure the 7 will have more energy but energy is not a good indicator of game killing potential. Inside 600 yds both cartridges effective range most animals will not know the difference. If I was going elk hunting tomorrow at ranges to to 600 yds or less I would pick the 06 with a good load of RL17 pushing a 215 Berger. For deer size game flip a coin. For longer ranges I would pick the 7. If you want to shoot flatter and farther pick the 7. If you want good solid performance out to 700 yds give or take with much longer barrel life pick the 06 [/QUOTE]
