7 MM WSM OR 300 WSM PLUS DO I PICK 7MM OR 300 WIN MAG

[Tracey]

SEEMS LIKE A TOUGH CHOICE...CURRENTLY SHOOT A 270 WSM FOR ANTELOPE & MULE DEER OUT TO 500 - 700 YARDS NO PROBLEMS...JUST BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS NEED 1 MORE FOR UP TO 1000 YDS. DO I GO WITH THE 7MM WSM OR THE 300 WSM...TRULEY DO LIKE THE 270 WSM FOR HUNTING AND RELOADING, BUT IF I STEP UP GIVE ME SOME INSIGHT INTO THE 2 CATEGORYS FOR RELOADING AND SHOOTING AT THE 700-1000 YDS RANGE WITH CONSIDERING THE AVAILABILTY OF BRASS FOR THE 7MM WSM OR THE 300 WSM...USE TO SHOOT & HUNT WITH A 300 WEATHERBY & A 375 H&H MAG IN AFRICA...THOSE DAYS HAVE PASSED...JUST WANT TO STEP UP FOR SOME LONG RANGE SHOOTING WITH MAYBE 1 0R 2 ELK HUNTS LEFT IN ME...

I think this question would be better amswered at longrangehunting.com.

However, both cartridges will offer you almost the same performance. It will be a matter of choice. No right answer here. I would go with a 7-300 wsm, 8 twist, and 195 bergers.
