RE: 7mm vs 300 WSM
AGREED, both the 7mm and 300 are more than capable of handling most chores out to 500 provided you use the correct bullet and hone your shooting skills at those distances..BUT, why not pick the time tested 7mm remington mag or the 300 winchester magnum, either will equally handle everything also.. ammo would be available anywhere compared to the new kids...other than action length there is no real difference to be honest about it.. A good .300WM or 7MMRM also in for the long haul and don't seemed to be going anywhere anytime soon..and don't forget about the SAUM's..if you need a lightweight elk mountain rifle and if you can find one these days, the Remington model 7 stainless in .300SAUM would be almost impossible to beat..light, accurate, a big banger to say the least and a sweet little rifle... choices, choices and more choices...
