If you're a reloader you might as well spring for the 280 Ackley, nearly the same ballistics as the 7mm mag. My friend has a Cooper Long Range in 280AI and absolutely loves it. He claims that they will rebarrel the Long Range series after you shoot the barrel out you for $150 but I'd have to hear that from the horses mouth before believed it.
As an unabashed short action and 30 cal fan, I'd pick the 300 WSM every day and twice on sundays. Load it down to 30-06 performance or to full magnum velocities, it's a versatile cartridge and .308 bullets are prolific.
