A 7mm 195gr bullet with a 0.755 BC, or a 180gr bullet with 0.796 BC, is tough for any .30 cal bullet to whoop. Heck, even a lowly 147gr 6.5 bullet with a 0.697 BC ain't far behind the biggest, heaviest .30 cal bullets, 800 yard shots included...
If any of those bullets arrive in the vitals with enough velocity to initiate proper expansion, it's game over for any animal in NA.
