I have both and like both the.300 and 7mmRM.. My late wife took over the 7 for her rifle the last 10 years of her life.. We mostly loaded it with a heavy load of Re22 and a 140 BTBT.
It killed everything from rockchucks to moose.. Great load.. But it did shoot faster that 3200.. Maybe due to the altitude here.. I like both, simply for variety.. Shooting one caliber or rifle all the time gets plenty boring for me..
I also have and like both.
For over 20 years I loaded the 7mm RM with 160g bullets while the .300WM has only been loaded with 180g bullets. Still have some of those 160g 7mm RM loads but load 140g bullets these days. Like you, I get over 3200fps with them. Good 140g bullets (Barnes TTSX, North Fork SS, etc.) will expand well and still drive through several feet of animal at ranges near and far.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
