I see a lot of guys on here scared of the 200 grainers "not stabilizing", "tumbling", and "penciling through". The common denominator? None of them speak of ever actually USING it on game.

A few years back I took a lot of game in BC with my 300Wby, with premium bullets from 165ers at 3370 to the 200s at 3050. Goats, bear, bison, moose, you name it. The only conclusion I reached is that one killed as fast as the others. The 165 grainers fried moose, and the 200 grainers certainly didn't tumble.

I would happily use the 200.

Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
