Well I currently do all my hunting with a 7mm RM so I might be a tad bit biased in this, I don't find the cartridge to be that expensive to shoot, what I have noticed is that were I live, 7mm RM is on the shelf in most places and the 308 is not. Something to consider if you don't hand load your own, and there are the lack of component issues these days too. You will spend more money horse trading guns than you will think and end up spending more that you thought you would spend! Federal Fusions in 7mm RM is a good load for about $ 26 a box not much considering what things cost, keep the rifle that you can find ammo for, 308 is short supply for some reason due to the times we live in and perception.t, its all relative to what you are use to I guess!
