Thes velocities attainable with 66-73 or so grains of powder vs the generally heavier charges required from the 300's.
73 grains of powder will get you 2800 fps in a .375 H&H and a 260 Nosler all day long.So is the 7MM equal to the 375 also?Just kidding Bob and I have to say,the 7MM guys are die hard fans for sure..Kinda like the 45-70 croud.
There is no doubt,if you can't shoot any caliber because of recoil,your better off with a lighter recoiling cartridge but if the added weight and recoil of a larger diameter bullet at the same or faster velocity at an added .024 diameter(.308 over .284) and 25 more grains of weight(200 versus 175) you have a better killer on large game.
The .338 carries a .030 diameter advantage over the big .300's and it said to be a better killer than the .300 even though the big .308 bullets penetrate better than the big .338's arleast in test I have seen...So is the .338 a better killer than the .300 mags?If so,why then is not the .300 a better killer than the little 7MM?
That is if you can pack that big heavy .300 around and take the teeth jarring recoil.
