300 or 7mm

Cant help you if you don't tell us what your hunting and your max range and how sensitive you are to recoil. But to be honest id stick with the regular .7mm Rem Mag or .300 Win Mag but thats just personal preference.

For whitetail? Are you serious? Why would you want a 7mm or 300 mag for whitetail?
I know dead is dead, but these generate waaaaay too much energy, recoil, cost of ammo is more and if you reload, burn excessive amounts of powder.
If you want to use a 7mm bullet for whitetails, why not use a 7-08, or a .280. Even a 7mm Mauser. In the 30 cal you have the 300 Savage, 308 Win, 30 T/C, and the everlasting 30-06.

Well if your talking long range (300-400 yards) id say a 7mm Rem Mag would be fine. But keep in mind most deer are killed at ranges under 100 yards so id look at a .270 or .30-06 something along those lines no need to use a magnum for a regular deer rifle. And with a magnum ammo cost more you ruin more meat more recoil more muzzle blast.
