[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1630289, member: 109113"] I've shot lots of deer, elk, and a few antelope with the 30-06, .308 Win., and the 7mm Remington Magnum and I can't tell the difference between the three. Neither could the animals. If I was doing a lot of long range shooting, I might come to prefer the flatter trajectory of the 7mm, but out to about 400 yards or so, they all work about the same. I also used a 300 Weatherby once to shoot a deer at a little over 400 yards, and aside from noise & recoil, there was no difference. As mentioned in a prior post, deer aren't big enough for me to tell the difference in bullet & cartridge performance, and I think I need to shoot a few more elk to really iron out my preferences. I'll report on that in about fifteen years. [/QUOTE]
