I know that the remington .300 is bigger but is it that much bigger?

Here we go again...which 7mm and which 300?

No doubt Mossy.

Remington is a manufacturer of firearms.

300 & 7mm, when refering to cartridges, can be a whole lot of different cartridges. The bullet diameters are .308 inches for the 300 and .284 inches for the 7mm. That is only a differance of 24 thousandths of an inch.

For instance you have a 300 winchester magnum, 300 Savage, 300 Weatherby magnum, 300 Winchester short magnum, 300 Remington ultra magnum, 300 Remington short action ultra magnum, 300 Whisper, 300 H&H magnum, and so on and so on.

Here are a few 7mm's... 7mm-08, 7mm Remington magnum, 7mm Weatherby magnum, 7mm Mauser, 7mm Remington ultra magnum, 7mm short action ultra magnum, 7mm Dakota, 7mm Winchester short magnum, 7mm shooting times western, and so on and so on.


If, however, you are refering to the 300 Winchester magnum and the 7mm Remington magnum the dead animal will never know which one you used. As far as power, trajectory, and effective range for killing animals they is no real world differance.

Im not trying to be smart but do you not read all of the posts in here? A simple check once a week will give the differences of these two cartridges.

A 7mm Remington Magnum = .284 calber

A .300 Winchester Magnum = .308 caliber but not the same case as a .308 win. it has a large magnum case.

sorry bigbulls, you must have posted the same thing I did while I was typing.

don't think game would actually notice the difference of .024" in the diameter of the bullet that just hit them, stan. lightweight bullets are the 140 in 7mm and the 150 in .308.
med weights 160 and 180 respectively, heavies, 175 and 200.
