Thread: 300 win mag or 7mm Rem mag

+1 for the mag limits on T3's, you'll end up single feeding bullets in order to get the optimal seating depth. I would also not recommend either option in any superlite rifle. Apart from the barrel heat up - which will be really bad with a suppressor - you are likely to find shooting accurate groups is very challenging due recoil in a very light weight rifle. For this reason I'd steer towards the 7mmRM in a lighter rifle set up (less recoil). But better option would be a rifle with a heavier barrel contour (#3 or more) and a better stock (like B&C or HSPrecision or a CF one). You want a very stable platform for accuracy and dealing with recoil. The standard Tikka stocks are not the best in that regard. 30 cal is going to be better for Samba so the other option you should consider in 300wsm - recoil is closer to 7mmRM and in 165 - 180 gn 30cal pills the performance is pretty much same as 300wm. The short action also allows translates a shorter (& lighter if u want) rifle for a 23 - 24 in barrel.
