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

Ran some numbers, just for you.

Let's go backwards. Explain to us how the 125 ft/lbs or so of energy that the 7-08 with a 162 AMax will carry at 600 yards, over the .308, matters one bit to the critter being shot.

Or if you'd rather, how the 14.3 MOA drop is so different than the 15.6 MOA drop... given rangefinders and turrets and reticles and so on.

Or... you get the idea. Maybe you don't. Shouldn't assume, with you.

When you get done with that, explain why in hell a guy would be hunting at 600 yards or farther with a 7mm-08 (or .308), anyway.
