For north American game.....I like my .270 the best
7mm mag
some of you 300 guys should look at a comparison of downrange velocity/ke on the 300 vs 7mm. I know it surprised 1 of my friends into purchasing a 7mm and selling his 300. Cheaper bullets, lighter recoil, better downrange ballistics.
I did, a 230g bullet out of a 300 rum at 3000fps wins

Yep, from antelope to Alaska Yukon moose, I have used the lowly and vanilla .270 Winchester. Works so well I have four of them from a 6# all up tiatanium job to a fancy super grade to cover every "hoofed animal" situation. Big nasty toothy critters make me want more power and diameter, but I am 100% comfortable and confident with my .270 for every NA ungulate.
I agree, but when we are talking "all around" i think anything from coyotes to moose, i dont think i would use a 230 grain giant shooting a coyote. then again, you can get way smaller bullets for the 300. I just like that I can shoot 160 gr accubonds with my 7mm and feel like I am good to go on anything that I hunt, I dont have to change bullets based on my game.
300 is better for brute force, you are right, but for my personal usage, the 7mag does the trick. I was just pointing out that for most loads, a comparable load in the 7mm performs equally well, if not better, at longer (300+) yardage.
