In the wake of easily duplicated ballistics from many other offerings, these statements of perfection above all others, are amusing and not to be taken seriously. smile

The 7/08 is nothing more than a picket in a fence of cartridge performance. That's all.


I know I'm the semi-new (was on the fire a few years ago but couldn't even remember my name user name on here...lol), but as I enjoy reading all the replies on threads like these, I can't help but say that Mr. Bob is dead on. Pieces of paper with great groups are pleasing to the eye. Ballistic charts are interesting to look at. Most of us have our favorite rifle based on many different things. But the "perfect" caliber exists only in the mind of each of us. If it was an objective choice, every deer hunter who pursued the perfect caliber/rifle combination would use the same caliber in "X" rifle. In the end, most of us go by experience and personal likes and dislikes.
