Isn't this just the .270-30-06 discussion revisited???? No, I think we have that figured out. If you are gay or coming out of the closet then you use the 270, if you are a real man then you opt for the 30-06.......  What about those that use both?

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I'm just glad Desertmuledeer sold me that 30-06 Extreme Weather when he did. Sounds like he's got issues.....

On my all weather rifle, I thought about these two exclusively. I went with the 300 WM due to the option of shooting from 130 gr to 200 gr bullets. Gave me a reason to choose and get out of the store with a long box.
Would use a 7mm RM in a minute though. Everyone else in my elk camp uses a 7mm RM. And they get elk as well.

I'm a newbie to the 7mm rem mag, but so far I really like it. Still no flies on the 300 win mag though...

Damn, that sounds like a good reason NOT to use a 7 Mag!

That is funny! To put my nickle in the descussion I will take the 300! I had a 7MM that kicked like a mad mule. I am partial to 30-cal though and like said repeadatly I doubt any animal would ever die differently from one or the other.
Good Shooting!

Had to laugh a little bit... "the 7 Mag kicked like a mule, so I want something that kicks harder"!

Gota be brief because the game is about to start. I've often said that the 300mags are just about perfect for the bigger cud chewers and they probably are. But after killing a number of good bull elk with the 7mmRM I can not see any difference between the 300's and the big 7's. With Nosler Partitions both are ideal or so I say.

The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

My 7m RM has dropped quite a few elk in their tracks. The one I took with my .300WM went about 25 yards, dead on its feet.
Recoil is noticeably heavier with my .300WM.
I like them both but shoot the 7mm RM more.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

""the 7 Mag kicked like a mule, so I want something that kicks harder"!"
It must be percieved or stock design but that 7MM was a sharper recoil for me any ways. I never minded the 338 either, but it was a 9-lb rifle. That was my only experience with owning a 7MM was my point and it was nasty!
Good Shooting!
