And taking guns away happens in other countries, that doesn't mean we should do it here either. Big difference between being able to do something, and it being the just and right thing to do.

All this talk here and on a another thread has inspired me to try something different so, I'm buying a wrist rocket, one that has the power of a 30.06 at like 30 feet. And i got a heavy load for grizzlies,(they're ball bearings out of a mack truck). Hey david killed goliath with one.

The 375 H&H is the way to go. It is a handloaders dream, can be loaded down, or full power. Recoil is managable, extremely accurate and kills with authority. Ammo is readily available, and doesn't trash deer like the fast steppers.

I would say that your question regarding the 7mm Mag would be fine for everything on your list...except the big griz! I wouldn't hunt the big bears with a 7mm...and I have hunted them in Alaska several times.
Honestly...as someone else pointed out...your .308 will also take everything on your list with ease (again except the big bears)...
Go .223...as other posters have mentioned, they'll kill anything in North America
