I own a 7mm08 and hate it.. Not accurate in the gun i own. Recoil is just as stout or more than my 308 and ammo is about $10 more a box.

Why not just go to the 308? or even 270 if you want long action. Also, can't find ammo half the time but always find the big 3 calibers even at some remote gas stations.

Personally i think it was a solution looking for a problem. I loved the idea at first but now it makes little sense to me. 308 does it better!
