recoil? 300 win mag vs 7mm rem mag?

Hello everyone from new member,just lookingoverthe site and came across this question! WOW unless you live in Africa and expect an elephant stampede why even consider these, may be the 7mm, but I live in northern MI and find my .270 more than adequete, last year my friend took down a huge elk with his luckey lottery ticket. with the .270 he borrowed from me 95 yards, one shot died where it was hit!

 

Welcome aboard,
As for the 300wm, that is what I use for elk hunting because a 95 yard shot where I hunt would be unheard of unless you stumble upon a deaf, half blind elk with no sense of smell. Most of my shots have been in the 400 to 500 yard range. At that range, I wouldn't trust a .270 to have the terminal ballistics to take a elk down unless it was a perfect vital shot. I also use it to hunt deer and have never had one hit by a .300 to take more than a stumbling step, while I have had some run with some good shots from a .308 and .30-06. Something to be said about kinetic energy, .300, 180 gr. bullet has the same Ke at 1000 yards as a .44 mag 240gr at the muzzle. I've shot deer at 200 yards, literally fold in half from the wallup.
