If you go the 7mm route ( I have) for sambar you will need to use 2 different projectiles to shoot them from 0-600. I found Barnes 150 TTSX ideal for close work in the thick stuff and then 160ELD-M for shots 300 and over. I'm shooting them at 3200fps so the ELD-Ms are to soft any closer than 300 but have knocked over a 29" stag at 400 and wouldn't hesitate to shoot at 500. I zero for the ELD-M and the Barnes shoot an inch left and low so under 300 on a sambar size target makes little difference especially in the bush of hand
