Re: 300RUM versus 7mmSTW
They are both going to hurt. I would go with the 7STW just because I like the .284 caliber.

To much powder and to small bore in STW not good to load for. Get the 300 Ultra, my whole family shoots them and i think there great.

Way overkill for target shooting, maybe even for hunting. But who cares right? They're just barrels
For hunting deer through moose either would do fine, the RUM has a better bullet selection, but really both will knock the shit outta you and anything you point it at.

I have a semi custom lightweight rifle built in 7stw with a vias brake. Not much kick at all. I was very suprised the first time I shot it and I am still suprised. I can easily call all shots at 200 yds.

.300win for the versatility.... maybe a .300wsm or .325wsm if you want non-belted. .338-06 if you are a traditionalist.

More options for brass if you go STW. Combine that cartridge with the 180VLD & you've got a serious hammer. That being said, I have to vote for the Ultra. You mentioned hunting, the larger cross sectional area of the 30cal boolit is going to provide advantages. With the new LR Accubonds, the new 215 & 230 Bergers & the new(ish) Barnes LRX, the 300mags are starting to show favor once again.
Recoil be damned, put a brake on it & forget it.
