Whats the more versatile rifle 7 rem mag or 300 win mag for out west?

Probably hard to find rum ammo at a moment and pop store if you forgot to pack it

Why do people constantly suggest selecting a caliber based on cartridge popularity "in case you forget your ammo."

Come on man.

At this point I would NEVER buy a magnum for any type of North American big game hunting. 280 AI would be the largest cartridge I would ever own at this point.

Watching guys shoot magnums since ive switched to smaller calibers really reinforces just how bad guy shoot magnums. If your buying a magnum, your not intending to shoot it a lot. If your not intending on shooting it a lot, your not going to shoot it well. Im not telling you to get a .223 or 6mm, but 7mm08, .308, 6.5cm are all killers out beyond 99% of hunters maximum range.

Ohh you done one upped me bro

I'll see your 7STW and raise you to 358STA .

Originally I was going to build a 300WM but came across the STA and decided to build it instead. 25yrs later I kinda wish I would've stayed with the original plan but I've found a good reduced load for the STA that's good for PA and can always go back to full strength if I go west.
