My brother hunted Saskatchewan whitetails with a 375 H&H for a couple of seasons using 260gr Accubonds. Pretty sure that he got at least one deer with it and a running coyote. So there's that.

Bottom line is, if you can shoot it well and you don't destroy too much meat (frankly I've destroyed more meat with an improperly placed 140gr Ballistic Tip out of a 7mm than he did with the 375) it really doesn't matter what you're hunting with.

Someday aliens may invade our beautiful planet and a powerful rifle is our best bet to penetrate their armour ( if we are legally allowed to point firearms at aliens)
Seriously, big kicks are just awesome!

Never the wrong answer. My mom called me the other day and asked if I thought there was any reason to renew her PAL since she doesn't have any firearms. I simply responded "Liberal tears". She laughed. Then renewed online.

I have experience with both calibers on Whitetails and agree completely. The 140 gr. 7mm Nosler Partition jacked up more meat with it's wound channel when compared to the 270 gr Barnes X pill I use to use. I kept the muzzle velocities on my hunting loads at around or just under the 3000 FPS mark. And before anybody states it, I realize bullet construction was most of the reason.

Reading all the different posts. Nice choices (I have several), but for the win it has to be the 404 Jeffery!
You may all bow in reverence now LOL.
