My wife a small woman 5'-0' and 115 lbs has used a BAR 7mm RM custom from Browning with a 20" barrel and stock shortened to fit her for several decades.....has shot a train car load of deer and bears....never had to track one.....Barnes 150 gr. has been doing the trick for her....

I've had 2 rifles in 7 RM and wish I'd never gotten rid of one. I bought a Model 70 CRF when they came back out with CRF and used it in the NWT for Dall Sheep. That's the one I regret selling. It shot 162 gr. Hornady BTSP handloads well under and inch all day long. I still have a Browning 1885 in 7 RM that's just too pretty to take to the deer lease and bang it around in the utv. I did take it out last year and whacked an axis doe and then a pretty nice axis buck with it. It is currently shooting some old Federal factory fodder with 150 grain Sierra BTSP. Once those are gone it gets 145 grain Speer Grand Slam handloads.
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!
