[QUOTE="awalkawalka, post: 2693013, member: 119526"] 06 should be fine with the right bullet selection. As for 7rm vs 300wm I have both. The 300 collects dust because my 7mm shoots flatter and retains energy down range all while kicking less. I use the 180 berger hybrid, 70.2gr rotumbo @2905fps. Switch to the 175 elite hunters for smaller game like whitetail. These round really woke up my 7mm and it hits like a hammer. That being said if I was buying today it would be a 7prc. Pretty much the same performance as the 7rm but you'll be able to use some newer powders and get a bit more velocity than the 7rm plus it's setup for the heavier bullets that really make the 7mm class shine. All without the belt. I would have zero issues picking up a 300wm for my do it all gun though. .30cals are great hunters and the bullet selection gives you way more options. Good luck on your hunt.
