[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2440023, member: 30902"] Either will certainly do the job but given a choice I'd take the .300wm over the 30-06 just for the added velocity and energy downrange. All else being equal you have about the same energy at 500yds with the Winnine that the 06 gives you at 300-350. That's why the Winnie may very well be the most versatile centerfire cartridge of all time and that's coming from a dedicated 7mm guy for four decades. It's just the Toyota Land Cruiser of centerfire cartridges and will always get the job done if you do your part. That being said, I've never felt "under gunned" carrying either the 7RM or my beloved 7mm STW. I just recognize the Winnie for what it is which is the reason I chose the Winnie for my first trip to Africa and took 20 odd species of African game with it from point blank to way out there.
