Make that 201 yds and I'll chime in...
Seriously, it's gonna be tough to find many that have much experience on killing many elk with both rounds. Fairly easy to find people who've killed tons with the RM but not many have done it with both.
As you know I've been a heavy Mashburn user for years and have gone thru 3 barrels with the round. And, I will go to the 4th tube as soon as the real estate market treats me better..
I've also been there done that and bought the t-shirt a lot with the 7 RM. Both thru my use and thru seeing friends bounce elk with the round.
I'm a member of the 50/50 club on elk, meaning I'm over 50 years old (did I just utter that?), and I've been in and around on the taking of over 50 head of elk. IMO you'd have to bounce one heck of a lot more elk than I have to be able to discern any diff tween the two rounds on elk. Pretty much like the diffs tween the 280 and the 7 RM. Or the 06 and the 300 WSM and so on..
The Mashburn is one of my all time fav rounds, and if I had to do all my hunting with just one round it would be my go to. (and you know how much I like the .270)
I like the Mashburn cause it gives me more gas than the 7 RM and hits speed without horsing it as much. And cause I was lucky as heck to get to know Hagel and it was one of his fav rounds it became one of my fav rounds and I am sort of a sentimental turd (or maybe just mental)
Bottom line a long throated 7 RM gives one heck of a lot of performance. Plus one can/could still use factory ammo and cross international lines easier.
The Mashburn will give day in and day out 150 fps or so more gas. I know there will be exceptions to this cause of fast/slow barrels and differing ways of how people go about loading their rounds. IE some people will push things harder than my experience has taught me is prudent. And I was a long time President of the Red Liners club so I feel I've earned the right to speak on this.
Pretty sure the Mashburn gives a bit less case trimming as well and to me I'll do about anything to eliminatge case trimming...grin
Bottom line, use what turns your crank and go forth and fill up some arks..
