Ok I'm looking for a long range hunting round that is chambered in a t/c barrel. I'm thinking either a 300 win mag or a 338 federal. it will be used mainly on deer and hopefully on elk.I already have a 7mm rem mag, sholud i look for a new caliber or just get a better long range scope for what I have?

7mm is nice but if you want a long range rifle go with a 338 win mag, the 338 federal does not have enough rear to push the 250 and 300 grain bullets.

Stick with your 7 mag, your not gaining much in long rage performance with either,while I love my 300 I just couldn't justify buying one if I had a 7. Of course if your just looking for a new gun, who am I to rain on your parade.

I will agree with 338RUM on the fact that the 338Federal round doesn't have enough for a long range cartridge. After all it's merely a .308 necked up to 338. If you are wanting longer range you're going to need a higher power scope regardless of which caliber bullet you will use. I don't know what you consider long range hunting so if you could be more specific it would help.

(although it is not your choice at the moment) the .338 Winchester Magnum is a classic in the field and in the marketplace.

.338 Win Mag would be my choice, but I am extremely biased.
