Where this magnum style round can shine against the 6 Ultra Mag Ammo . 308 with a threaded.
On any given day the 7mag will outperform the 308. More retained energy and less wind drift in a fair comparison. The 7mag does not kick bad unless you're recoil sensitive, it's rather easy to load accurate ammo for, even though the 308 is less picky and shoots nearly anything, and the barrel should have adequate lifespan for a hunting rifle.
This compares favorably to 150 grain and 180 grain .308″ bullets which have sectional densities of .226 and .271 respectively. At the same time, while the 7mm Rem Mag tops out with 175 grain bullets, the .300 Win Mag is capable of firing 200 grain, 208 grain, and 220 grain bullets with sectional densities of .301, .313, and .331 respectively.

270 (.277)= 150-160gr Barnes, Nosler Partition, Grand Slam, etc. 7MM (.284)= 150-175gr Barnes, Nosler Partition, Grand Slam, etc. 30 cal (.308)=180-200gr Barnes, Nosler, Grand Slam etc. I have used both 270 and 30-06 on elk with great success, both pretty much dropped them on the spot or within a few feet anyway.
