[QUOTE="tooth doc, post: 2297093, member: 52018"] if 7mm was inferior to 300 win, why do you think the gent at gunwerks and best of the west who make a specialty out of long range hunting, and rifles for lr hunting, opted for 7mm rem almost exclusively for a long time. ballistic advantage, all things considered, i believe goes slightly to 7mm and 6.5 callibers in fast twist, long for cal bullets. but i am kind of splitting hairs here. ibeen to africa 23 times. , hunted canada and us for 50 years. usingmany rifles in lots of calibers. used to believe i needed bigger, faster. now i still have them all. from 22"s to 577 t rex and 700 ahr. i believe a good , deep penetration bullet, like barnes , or hammers ,or partition, in a rifle that shoots them accurately and in an adequate caliber will do all that is needed. dead is dead. case in point, in africa my ph scoffed at my daughters kimber in 260 rem for larger tough,plains game. after she put a 130 barnes tsx through both shoulders, lungs and heart of a 750 lb, zebra stallion he went 30 yds, they didnt question it. she also too red hartebeast, and a 52 in kudu full. both one shot kills. neither went 20 yds. use a good bullet, shoot alot, build accurate loads, put then kill zone, and you will be successful. have fun, own lots of guns if you wish. there is more than one way to skin a cat .
