[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 377636, member: 4191"] I own and use both. Not a whole lot of difference between the two. My 7mm RM with 168 Berger VLDs hold their velocity a little better than 210 VLDs in the 300 Win Mag, which helps maintain expansion velocity at 1000 yds. 1000 yds is stretching it for both of these cartridges because that's where bullet velocity drops to the point where expansion could become unreliable. If elk is your primary focus, the 300 Win Mag has the slight advantage. The 7mm RM will also put them down with good hits. If deer is the focus, I'd maybe go with the 7mm RM. Again not a lot of difference IMO. As stated, my 7mm RMs maintain downrange velocity a bit better than my 300 Win Mag. The 300 Win Mag is apt to hammer the game harder provided you maintain expansion velocity, and the bullets expand. [/QUOTE]
