These are the two best performing that I found according to the data charts, if you go up in weight on the 7 it starts falling out much quicker. The 300 retains about 600 ft lbs of energy out to 700 yds. I own both and the 300 does have significant amount of recoil. The 7 mag is more than enough for any deer or elk in North America out to 5-600 yds, but I guess it's just all in what one wants.


You got that right. Now try this. I know not every one reloads but run the numbers with the 7mm 180gr berger you will find that your numbers are very similar. Again, not everyone reloads. You would be able to get quite a significant amount of recoil reduction with only roughly 100fps less energy at the 500 yard line. Me personally, I have the 300win and it has served me well on game way out there.

Only accurate rifles are interesting.
