[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 108376, member: 1007"] Both the 300 RUM and 7 RUM have good qualities and advantages. I have a load that will deliver over 2000 FPE at 1K from my 300. The only draw back is that bullet isnt suitable for elk. However I do have a load that will deliver 1400 FPE at 1K and its a heavy long tank of a bullet well suited for elk. There are several bullets for the 7mm RUM that will deliver awesome trajectories and even some decent energy. None I would shoot an elk with though. Most bullets well suited for elk at long range are going to be the ACCUBOND or INTERBOND, or Partition. Not Amax's or SMK's (short range either for either caliber) My money for a looong range elk bullet is the 200 ACCUBOND. It will blow the doors off the 160 ACCUBOND. Is the 7 RUM useless? Absolutly not. Its a hard hitter and flat shooter. Is the 300 RUM better? That depends on your definition of better. There is no clear cut answer. Go with what makes you happy. They will both cleanly harvest an elk at 600 yards +. [/QUOTE]
