Reading Taylor's :African Rifles and Cartridges" from 1948. Funny- a few things have certainly changed over the years. Longer shots seem more probable now. He said a shot over 200 Yds back then would be RARE. He said sight in for 100 Yards, and aim to hit. Your rifle will hit close enough out to 200, with no need to hold under or over. That certainly won't change with your 7MM. Another thing that hasn't changed, as other have pointed out: Use PREMIUM bullets. Personally, I would opt for a 9.3x62. But thats kinda like noses- everyone has one.
Hope you have a ball. Too bad the news about PH Ian Gibson.... R.I.P. OM.
Have a blast on your hunt, and give a good report upon your return!
