[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1027147, member: 12995"] 7mmRM and 7mm LRM are 2 different animals. I would compare the 7mm-300WM to the 7mm LRM as a closer comparison. As for comparing the 7mmRM to the .300WM......Well......That's too close to call. The 7mmRM uses a lighter, smaller, faster bullet. The .300WM uses a slower & heavier bullet. Both have excellent BC's when you get into the Berger offerings in the heavy-for-caliber area (180-195 for the 7mm, and 210-230 for the .30). I own both calibers you ask about (several 7mm's :D ), and have been a 7mm enthusiast since my first bolt-action deer rifle (7mm-08) when I was a kid. Still got that old rifle. I say it's a toss-up between 7mmRM and .300WM. Those 2 particular calibers are about as close as you can get ballistically, and I don't feel either one of them deserves the title, as neither is the clear winner, or loser. It all boils down to personal preference...Do you want a 7mm? Or do you want a .30 caliber? [/QUOTE]
