UncleSoapy,

I've only owned four 7mm-08's, but every one has been very accurate and easy to load for--and shot well with factory ammo too. Haven't shot vast amounts of big game with it, but between the 7-08 and the 7x57 (which is exactly the same thing ballistically) have taken at least a dozen species of big game, including a number of whitetails. But have also taken game up to bull elk and moose in North America, and wildebeest and kudu in Africa. Oh, and pronghorn and springbok (the African equivalent of pronghorn) out to around 400 yards, where the same ballistics work fine too. They're both fine all-around cartridges.
