neither will work on deer!

You need something with lots of letters after it, a rifle that only can hold 2+1 because the shells are 1.5" long and 1" in diameter.

Don't you read the magazines? Cartridges proven over several generations of hunting with ordinary bullets don't work anymore

Either will work fine, I used to hunt with a .270 and it shot deer just about perfect. My dad hunted with a 7mm RM and it really shot deer perfect. You don't want to hit shoulders with either one of the rifles.

I would say .270 if I picked one. Less recoil, probably less ammo cost and it's just a nice shooting rifle.

Both are excellent cartridges. The magnum is slightly more powerful. Both are more than you need for deer. The 270 will hold more shells.

Both are more than you need for deer,the 7mmremmag offers more energy for larger game.

I would still be ok with using a .270 on moose, black bears or elk. Grizzly/bison, etc, more is just better.

I think when you add the words "all round rifle" the 7MM gets the nod but both have a lot of years to show they both work great

both great guns, both will kill deer fine, 7mmag better all around but kicks more.

Isn't it know among knowledgeable hunters that the....375 Ruger is the KING and that nothing else compares?

 

[bogie]

I guess I will just have to get rid of my 308 and 30-06. They just dont have the KOOL factor the magnums do.I am living in the past. Please dont tell anyone I have a 38-55. The scandal would be unbearable...

 

[mbogo3]

Considering Remington stole the 7mm Mag idea from Mashburn and the Ultra-mags from the Canadian Imperial magnums.Either will work........................Harold

X2 ...... lighter rifle, less recoil, more ammo selection, cheaper ammo.

For deer only, I'd prefer a lightweight, shortaction (260/7-08/308/338Fed/358W) with 20" bbl with 2x7.

Hahahaha awesome! Seriously OP, why don't you know this?

 

[dale9805]

my prefernce is the 7mm mag, i've shot 3 moose and and over a dozen deer with this recoil is very managable, i weigh 200lbs, and it's fairly flat shooting and powerfull, a high shoulder shot on a 200lbs deer will drop it in it's tracks.
also if you are unforunate enough to make a bad shot, stomach,hind quarters ect. it will still make a big enough hole to allow you to quickly recover your animal.
if reciol is managable...(you don't flinch) then bigger is always better, unless you're hunting rabbits.

7mm Rem mag.

 

[Huntsman]

Well I guess........I'll bite,
I have both.....but the 7mm is in the WSM configuration, it doesn't have a belt and comes in a short action...so does it still fall into the "magnum" category?

Good grief. Buy both, shoot some critters. Form your own opinion. It's not hard to do.
