I have both the 300 Win and the 7mm Rem Mag...the 300 definetely kicks more, my rifles weigh within two ounces with the 300 being heavier...I haven't used the 300 in 4 seasons now. The 300 might have slightly more energy at some ranges but they are both way more than you need anyway.....I've been carrying a 7-08 and now I'm getting a lightweight 30-06 put together....but if you're stuck on the 7mm Rem Mag or 300 Winny, I can't help you.....

Just for interest compare the trajectory and energy of a 160gr 7mm bullet leaving the muzzle at say 3000 and a 180gr 30 caliber leaving the muzzle at 3100....assuming both bullets have the same nose and heel profiles....which has a flatter trajectory and more energy at 400 yards?
