Depending on your bullet should be good to go on deer sized game at that distance. I live in Idaho and hunt with everything from 8mm Mauser, to 7 mag. I have taken deer at close range with large magnum rifles and the bullets zip right through them with no expansion, and required a follow up shot.Slower rounds I prefer for "stalking" like the 8mm, 308, and the like.I would also feel comfortable out to around 500 yards with either of those rounds.The 270 I would stretch it out around 700 or so.But out of your choices I would choose the 7 mag, just because I have one and love the caliber.Just my 2 cents.gun)</blockquote>
