I'm thinking about buying another full power sporting rifle and since I own already 2 30-06 and others in minor chamberings, I was thinking about a different caliber (but still very easy to find at the stores) to add to my collection.
There is any practical power differences between the 30-06 and a 300 Win Mag or 7 mm Rem Mag??? Any animal that the 300 or the 7 mm Rem Mag is capable to easily put down that the 30-06 dont??
I noticed that the 300 Win Mag ammo are significantly more expensive than the 30-06 and with less choice of factory loadings in term of bullet weight.
You can get 220 gr 30-06 but for 300 Win Mag you stop at 180
This difference in price is justified by a considerable more "oomph" in performance??
Should I buy instead something significantly heavier like a 338 or a 375 to add more "differentiation factor" to my collection???
Thanks for your advice!
