Why the 7mm Rem Mag?

[DoneNOut]

When there exists the 300 WM? Just curious. Might need a nudge

The 300wm rattles most peoples teeth. The 7RM does not. The 7rm is slightly flatter and less wind drift out to normal hunting range. Cost less to shoot, more fun and pleasant to shoot.

The 7 mag pre dates the 300. So why the 300 when we already had the 7?
They all have a place and it's all just personal preference.

Wrong. Depends on the gun. I have a Savage 110 HC 300 WM. Butt pad, weight, and muzzle break makes it feel like a 175gr 308. My buddy's 7mm Rem Mag Weatherby without those rattled my teeth.

Why does the .300 Win exist when there's the .300 RUM?

Because the 300 WM existed first. What does the RUM do that the 300 WM don't? "Where's all the RUM gone?"

Why does either one exist when we have the 6.5 Creedmoor

We're talking hunting rounds here.

7mag= musket balls.
300wm= what. huge leap forward?

The argument something pre dates something so its better, ain't helping me much here.

What does a .300 Win do that a 7mm Rem Mag won't?
