Deer and Antelope sized game...does well as a varmint and predator round too.. 2) 300 Win Mag or 7mm RM. Elk, Moose 3) 375 Grizzly, Moose, Bison, Big bears,,,also this is the minimum caliber for African dangerous game. There is plenty of room for debate in this. I based the above on my personal experience, down range energy and having bullets with high ballistic coefficients. I also avoided some of the newer cartridges due to their newness, proprietary nature and reputation for blowing out barrels too soon. [/QUOTE]
