It is good that you add "I am Spanish". Not have a place in my armorer". An armorer is the person (I doubt a 30-06 would fit in a person.) Armory would be the word you are looking for.

I get it, the 25-06 for example is very popular. Was popular as a wildcat is why Remington adopted it. My view is it doesn't do anything a .270 doesn't do better. Many would say that about the .270 doesn't do anything a 30-06 doesn't do better. Who knows maybe even Jack O'Connor would have said the only thing a .270 does better is sells articles I write.

In a single shot stalking rifle, since you are Spanish, I would chose the 7x57R since it was adopted by the Spanish military in 1893.

Thank you for your answer. I'm a maniac of magnum cartridges.

Hi, I haven't written in a long time. I keep messing with weapons. I'm saving for a new rifle; Since I have a 338 Winchester Magnum, I have thought about purchasing a rifle with a smaller diameter cartridge and I want to choose between a 270 WSM or a 7 mm Remington Magnum. I plan to use it to stalk animals such as roe deer, goats and the like. I like the 270 WSM being brassless and can be fired in shorter rifles and the 7RM I like its history, and its ability to handle heavier shells if needed. Which one would you choose?

I would go straight for the 7x64. Does pretty much all that the 7mm rem mag does but less powder and less recoil. It has a faster twist barrel so can stabilise long ballistically efficient monolithic bullets so will duplicate the trajectory of the 7mm mag. And ammo is widely available across Europe.

I didn't vote, Your 338 is a better option than either of your choices..I would suggest pairing it with a med caliber such as the 30-06, 270, 7x57 or perhaps a lighter caliber such as the 250-3000 in my case but a 243 or 6mm..lots of options.

I love the 7 Remington Magnum, and I see that people also have a preference for the classic magnum. But if I buy the classic magnum I will feel that something is missing. As I said, I have a year to decide.

Are the Weatherby rifles and ammo expensive in Spain or just not available? Sounds like you would love either the 257,270 or 7mm Weatherby Mag!

Sorry to go against the grain here.
Do you really "need" a magnum caliber to drop one of your intended animals? Any 7mm non-magnum would fit the bill just fine and you can find tons of different bullets in .284" all the way up to 195 grains or so in case you want to drop a red deer or similar sized game with it.
Some suggestions subject to ponderation are as follows, suggest - loaded to .050" from the lands.


1. 7X57 Mauser - Quick twist barrels like 8.5-8.7" love 175's especially Nosler Partition semi-spitzers. Readily available ammo in Euro zone(?)
2. .280AI - can use .280 Rem. ammo in a pinch. Lots of case volume for full/fast loads. I assume not common in Euro zone.


Scroll down about a third of the way of the story below for a 150 grain comparison. It will add a bit more thought to your needs.

El gráfico de velocidad era para comparar magnum con non magnum. Que tengas un buen día.

Had 7RM for a good number of yrs, wanted something more suitable for all year round use, versatile though. Picked up a 7-08 in a Rem 700, and a 338WM in a 700 KS Mtn rifle for areas where there are big bears, hunting Rockies in Alberta and Northern BC. I wound up shooting more game with the 7-08 than I did with the 338WM, all the stuff I'd bought the 338 for. And the 7-08 was great as a range gun. No complaints with the 338, aewsome gun, great to shoot, but, decided I didn't need it anymore.
For my hunting in N America, pretty much any 308 or 7x57 or 30-06 case based cartridge will do, from coyotes to moose. Only thing I might want a bigger cartridge for is bison or G-bears, I have a 7RM still and a 300H&H if need be, but, never felt undergunned with a smaller cartridge, either.

Hello, I love Weatherby but little ammo and very expensive. I already had a Vanguard and I was not convinced by the 24" barrel for the 300 Weatherby. And I sold it.

Makes sense! we have the same problem in South Africa.

Go with the 7mm Rem Mag, it is a very good calibre!
