7mm Mag vs 300 Win Mag for Plains Game

[Steve Franks]

First off what do you currently own?

The difference between the two, to an animal, is quite insignificant. My nephew use a 7mm Remington Magnum in RSA this last year for plains game. I loaded 160 Speer Grand Slams. The darn kid can really shoot. It was all one shot kills.

Like prior posts, accuracy and bullet placement is everything. Go with the one you shoot the best. Me? I can't take the ass whoopin' of the 300's, don't ask me why, but they seem to kick the crap out of me, even more the "big bores." I regularly hunt elk with a 7mm and out of 9 elk, all were dropped dead in their tracks.
