I would go with a 7 MM Mag or the 300 Win Mag. The 7MM is really just the 300 Win Mag necked down to the .284 measurement OR 7 MM.
Both will throw a roughly 165 grain slug down range at 3,000 FPS, or faster depending on how you load it or what you buy. If you sight the thing in 3 inches high at 100 yards you will be able to throw lead into the kill zone of an elk or deer out to 300 yards without changing your sight picture. I carry my 300 Win Mag on every hunt, and I have a lot of choices but always grab that one. I have killed many deer, elk and my AK bear with it. Plus you can load it up with 125 grain hollow points and slam down varmints as well.
