My experience, some years ago, was that 300 Wby factory ammo chronographed at around 3150 f/s with 180s from Mark Vs with 26 inch barrels.
The 378 Wby at 3070 f/s with 270 grain factory ammo and from Mark Vs with 26 inch barrels. 300 grain ammo was at around 2850 f/s.

There are two things...
hntrjohn,
I am not sure what you mean by your question. Does an extra set of dies mean you would reload for both calibers?
If you are reloading for economy and for some reason can only reload for one of the calibers, then reloading for the 7mm Rem will give the best economic return.
