I own both rounds. The fact is that under 300 yds which is where probably 95% of deer get shot there is no need for a 7mm rem mag, the .308 will do just fine. Hell, many many moose get killed up here every year with the .308. And a moose weighs about 5 times what a deer does so the .308 is not lacking in power. Inside 300 yds trajectory also means nothing as virtually all sensible deer rounds basically shoot almost the same inside 300 yds.
