I love both but with the style and places I hunt, my 20" 7mm-08 is what I consider near ideal


Just to add to what Chip has suggested,

Respectfully, as far as bullet placement goes, out to sane hunting distances, what's 200 fps.?
...


What is the max limit on "sane hunting distances"?



Coyote Hunter,

My good man, as you well know, the answer to your question is ever changing, subjective to every encounter, contingent upon a host of factors.
In that moment, I would say let every ethical hunter do what he deems is right, and that shall be sane.
