For me it would be the 300 Win. Mag.

Another vote for the 300. The 7 is a nice round but the 300 has the ability to go with much heavier bullets.

I think I'd seriously consider the 338 Win Mag, factory ammo and bullets available from 160gr to 300gr.

Z,

I have both and each has it's place in The-Grand-Scheme-of-Things ..... for a one for everything rifle I'd go with the 300 Win Mag.

Cheers,

I really love the 7 mag and 300 mag, but if only one was available I would have to choose the .338. Now there's a real bang up cartridge.

velocity is like a new car, always losing value.
BC is like diamonds, holding value forever.
