The 7mm Rem Mag is a great deer cartridge.For the distances you are talking about I would get a 270 Win. I have both calibers and I like my 270 for deer. I shot a few with the 270 @ 200+ yards and they dropped in their tracks.A few weeks ago I shot a nice little 5 point with my 7mm.Approx 80 yards using Rem 150 grain Core Lokts.He dropped like a rock but there was allot of meat damage.Another very versatile cartridge is the trusty old 30-06. Hope you make the right choice. Ruger Redhawk
