Here in Co we call them farm or tractor supply stores and I can buy feed/livestock/tractor supplies also 7mag/300Win mag ammo along with 270/30-06. Some of those even carry powder,bullets,primers maybe some things for shotgun/muzzle loader or sell firearms.

When I build my barn I got stall fronts/panels/roping chute and ropes from store that sold firearms/ammo and still in business today.

Taylor, you are exactly right in your speculation of why I recommend .300 Win mag and not 7 RUM. There are times when you can not even order loaded ammo or brass for the RUM.

The range limitations between the two are about 100 yards less for the .308.
Less maybe but I don't think there's nearly a 100 yard difference between the .308 and the 30-06, everything else being equal in terms of bullet weight, barrel length, etc.
