First time poster and you'r answering a two year-old question? Dang, must have had to dig for that one, or really be into 7mm. :wave: :lol:

Shooting the same type of bullet in factory ammo?

300 vs 7mm
 

the only rifle i hunt with is a 300wm only shoot moose and elk dont dammage any meat head shots only i shoot a verry accurate remington 700ss 5r milspec with 26" barel

Head shot only? Even if it was broad side at 100?:thinking-006:

x 100

None of my business how you dispatch an animal , but in my experience an animal will bleed out better when lung shot. Only reason I mention it is because in my mind it can affect the flavor and quality of the meat. Just my 2 bits worth, obviously it is a humane kill which is the most important aspect.

Choices are all preference but if you only take brainshots why choose a
.300?

I am just interested, not criticizing.

Head shots are not either clean kills or clean misses as some people would have us believe.The brain is a small target,and a slight miss can result in a jaw damaged so the animal starves to death,or a slight miss can result in the loss of an eye,without being fatal.

But he bought a really accurate gun, doesnt that make up for everything?? :47b20s0: :47b20s0:

I agree with Elkhunter 100%. If a person states they take head shots only, they most likely havent been in the hunting game that long, or havent seen the results of a poor shot. I have taken several head shots when the conditions are right and the distance warrants it, but a shot into the vitals at the shoulder is a much better bet for a lot of hunting situations.
