Hmmmm, when you throw antelope into the mix the complexity changes a bit,as few hunters can routinely shoot reliably around 350 to 400 yds and beyond.

While,I'm typically not a fan of the newer overbore magnums. I have one that until recently I would not have consider a favorite. It is a 300RUM custom with a kevlar stock and a recoil reduction unit in the butt,that groups several projectile weights from 140 to 250 remarkably well, almost all MOA with several Sub-MOA.





Have hunted all those mentioned and would have no problem using my 300RUM ...Have a HS that will shoot one holers at 100 yards on a regular basis..have shot antelope 400 plus with it as well as shot bears, elk, caribou, deer and all things in between...stoke it with 200 grainers or 220's for the bigger stuff and 165 or 180's for the smaller ones..or just stick with the 200's..getting 3170 fps about, with it which is plenty to shoot as far as your heart desires...

As to the 7mm not being big enough for big bears....baloney....have a friend, Troy, who has hunted around the world more than anyone I know---has shot every type of bear you can, along with probably 70 different species in Africa---all with a 7mm Remington Mag..Browning rifle..is it ideal, NO...will it work..YES..again, depends greatly on who is shooting it...
