Planning to rebuild/customize one of my Ruger "1 next winter, and finding it hard to decide what cartridge to chose. The rifle is chambered for a belted magnum, so it`s best to keep it that way.
Can`t decide between 300 Win mag and 7 mm Rem mag, though.......
The rifle will be used for moose, elk and maybe an occasional wild bore-hunt.
Either of the cartridges will be loaded with the heavier bullets, 160/175 gn for the 7 mm or 200/220 gn for the 300. For hunting I use Nosler bullets exclusively. They hawe nwvwe failed me.
Velocity is ok, but not crucial, as the normal shooting distances is out to about 100 meters. Maybe a little more.
I know both cartridges is efficient, flat shooting, and has the knock-down power. Maybe that`s why it`s so hard to decide.......
I`we always wanted a 7 mm of some sort, and there`s also the benefit of less recoil than the 300 cartridge.
