[QUOTE="johnny k., post: 55545, member: 2322"] TC, I tend to lean toward the 7mm RM. I have owned a Sendero in this caliber since they became available to the public. It has performed flawlessly and is superbly accurate out to at least 500yds. I bought and sold a .300 WM Sendero since buying my 7mm. For what I was asking the rifle(s) to do I couldn't see where the .300 was any better. It bellowed more, it kicked more and did not kill deer any better. I developed a terrible flinch from shooting the thing and traded it for a 70's era 700 BDL Varmint Special in .243 Win (which I since traded for a .25-06 Sendero!). Both are "easy" to load for. Both have a wide selection of bullets and powders to choose from. My 7mm was easier to find accurate loads for but that may have been the rifles and not the calibers. The .300 does digest a tad more powder than the 7mm. I currently have a Vari-X III 4.5x14x40 on my 7 that I sent back to Leupold to have a elevation target turret installed on. It works great for whitetails or targets. The .300 is a good round, but I'll take a 7 Mag any day. IMHO. Johnny K. [/QUOTE]
