What's your poison, 7mm RM running 160s at any velocity or .338 Federal running 210s?


Neither. I own and shoot both, but I'd take something like my Ruger .338 RCM over either of these choices, especially when prowling around thick stuff.

I'd want something different, too. A .404 Jeffery, perhaps.

The premise was an "either/or" question, though, between the .338 Fed and the 7MM RM. I was just trying to illustrate that the 7mm may not be better in all scenarios, that's all.


What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?
