Hard to beat either one within its ability. I use .44 magnum revolvers with 7.5" barrels past 100 yards. A 10" unvented barrel on a .44 would be plenty for 150 yards. 7-08 is sweat and gives a lot more range. Recoil is not bad at all.

"A quiet hit in the right place is better than a loud miss in the wrong place followed by 10 more shots on the run"

I was a handgun hunter, when handgun wasn't cool.....
