^ This. No doubt.Easy. I would take both.
Good luck with your hunt.
.300RUM w. 215 or 230 @ 3100, from 160 to 662 has taken 8 elk for us.
7RM 180 @ 2996, from 60 to 882 has taken 8 elk for us.

Right around 3100Nice! What was your muzzle velocity with that 28 nosler?
I need to try some 215 gr. Bergers^ This. No doubt.

And the 338!Thanks for the feedback everyone - I don't intend to shoot 1,200 yards on an elk, but sounds like either one will do the trick.
Going to shoot again before we head out and will probably just take both
215 Hybrid = N- 570- 93.3 = 3220 = 28"I need to try some 215 gr. Bergers

Im going to try this out ! I only have 700 215 gr bergers to get it diled in .215 Hybrid = N- 570- 93.3 = 3220 = 28"
Max 95 = 3307fps. 3.855coal.
i know you love the Rum but I can not believe you haven't tried that combo. It's like peas and carrots. You're gonna love it. Just don't shoot deer with that combo. You can run your arm through the carcassIm going to try this out ! I only have 700 215 gr bergers to get it diled in .
Thanks !!

I don't think it was a comparison thread. It was "which one should I take for elk hunting"...this is not exactly a level playing field men....there's a huge huge difference between the two you listed...the 300rum is not for the faint of heart, is not a daily driver and not for everyone by a long shot...the 7mm saum is no where near it across the board and much easier to handle...NOT A GOOD COMPARISON IN MY OPINION
Agreed!I don't think it was a comparison thread. It was "which one should I take for elk hunting".
Either will do the trick out to 700-800.
The RUM will just extend that range considerably, or add a lot of velocity, energy,amnd bullet weight at impact at the same distance.
The SAUM will be easier to shoot on the shoulder of the shooter. But not so much on the shoulder of the elk.
