Most of my guns are small bores except for the serious safari guns and I'm planning on a Nyala hunt for my next trip. Some of the outfitters are telling me to expect shots between 200 and 300 yards with an occasional shot a little longer. They prefer 300 Mags with 180 grain bullets up through 338 Win mags with 225 and 250 grain bullets. They want the Nyala dead right there before it can get back into the thick brush.

My choices are:

7mm Rem mag with the 160 grain Accubond (my gun will not shoot anything heavier accurately). Sighted in at 200 yards it has 6.8" of drop at 300 yards and 12.4" at 350 yards.

375 H&H with the 300 grain TSX.
Sighted in at 200 yards it has 10.8" of drop at 300 yards and 19.9" of drop at 350 yards.

I'm confident shooting either gun. The 7 Mag will hold an inch at 100 yards and the 375 H&H will group less than that. I've shot a zebra at 301 yards with the 375 H&H (one shot) and I've shot an antelope at 350 yards with the 7 Mag (one shot).

Do I take the flatter shooting 7 Mag or the heavier hitting 375 H&H?
