I own at least a dozen .308 Winchesters and there are some areas in which it is superior to the 7mm-08 and some not.

The fact is that the 7mm-08 with normal loads, will shoot as flat as a .270 Win as some ranges, and flatter than the best .308 at some ranges. At long ranges, that doesn't matter so much as knowing exactly what the range is, and much the drops out of your rifle are at each one.

A good shooter will a .45-70 and iron sights can beat someone with a .338 Lapua at 1,000 yards, if the .338 shooter doesn't know how to shoot his rifle.( Pick your own examples if you don't like those two.) 1,000 yard ballistics are irrelevant to hunting with the 7mm-08 or .308 Win.

I love my 7mm-08s. Great for deer, antelope, sheep.
