[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 398974, member: 307"] Both good cartridges. I choose the .300WinMag. and have for the past 15 years. I had a 7mmRemMag for just as long. They are not fussy to load for, and I get .3" groups at 100yds and get under MOA out to 650yds with my .300 and average .2's (occassionally getting .1's) at 100yds with the 7mmRemMag. I average 3100fps with 180gn bullets (26" barrel) in a Savage 112BVSS and 3200+fps with the 150gn bullet (26" barrel) in a 700P. I have never owned a .300WSM or 7WSM, but I have reloaded and done load development for a couple. I owned a .270WSM and it is a "true" magnum if you're comparing it to the .270Win. It bumps the .270 Weatherby. In my experience the .300 and 7mm WSM's do not offer anything in the way of performance over the .300WinMag and 7mmRemMag. The "standard" length magnums have been around for 45 years and are still doing fine as far as I can see. The WSM's are newer mousetraps. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
