I think it more comes down to the BC of the bullets, a 7mm 162 Amax with a bc of .625 pushed at 3050 is pretty hard to beat, from memory in 30 cal you need a 210gr bullet to get the same bc and i dont think the 300 win mag can push it fast enough to get the same benefit, and if you can the recoil will be dramatically more.
