7mm Rem Mag Vs .308

It gets easier the closer you get. It's all about beyond 600 yards.

You have a choice starting from .243 (even a .223) to n for within 300-500 yards.
 
Why try to shoot game beyound a range that does not allow you to make a good judgement call as to what you are looking at to shot is worth shooting. Is it large or small ,spike buck or doe, get the meaning. I shoot a 7rem mag . And beyound 400 yards bullet fall really starts to get your attention as a range finder of top quality is a most and a great spotting scope. Then a 300 win mag to keep the energy up at those longer distances. Bad idea to begine with. Stay with target shooting beyound 400yards.

7mm Rem Mag Vs .308

For medium game beyond 600 yds.

What would you choose and why?

I would go with the 7mm, mag..flatter shooter
 
I do not have the skills to make those shots, but I know people who can do it and the 7 mag is the clear winner here. The 308 is capable of making hits at well over 600 yards with a good shot, but I would worry about the energy remaining.
 
The 7mm mag is faster, and flatter shooting.

I see no advantage in the .308 over the 7mm Rem Mag for long range shooting.

That said, I don't much care for shots over about 500 yards. Even on those, I'm careful about what shots I take.

Long shot

My longest shot ever was 285 yards. Slightly under half (600) what you ask of your round. Closest was about 7 to 11 yards.
 
Hey, all it takes to be good at 600 yards is hundreds and hundreds of rounds of practice, and a really great ability to dope the wind. Isn't that what all of us do?

But is that critter at 575, or maybe 625? There's a fair difference in the trajectory, maybe a foot, foot-and-a-half with a 7 Maggie.

And "just a breeze" will give you some five feet of wind drift...

I've never messed around beyond 500 yards, but it's a bunch different from the easy stuff of 300 yards on in.

But, yeah, the Maggie will do better than the .308...
