Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles opinion of 7mm-08 rem. vs 308

I hear ya.

I've been privy to more than one occasion in which you have suggested the .308 over the 7mm-08 for those that don't hand-load. I assumed that was due to the availability factor. Seems only fair to point out the variety and mentionable quality of said fodder. That's a qualifier for me even as a hand-loader.

Definitely learned something new concerning my Redding FL bushing sizing die.

I'd be grateful to have a better understanding of your qualitative analysis of the overall difference between first and second fiddle. Like Steelhead, you have made the notion that "killing is easy" almost fashionable. With the quality bullets being made today, can the novice measure and/or realize the advantages of the 7mm projectile over its 30 caliber counterpart?

With all the absolutes that you elude to, I'm inclined to believe that the "platform" is everything (Not to seem as if I'm crawfish'n away from my beloved .308).
