I thought hard about the 7-08 as I can get Lapua brass for it, but thought it may come up a touch short for Elk. I would rather have one rifle for everything from antelope to Elk. I want said rifle to be good out to about 600 which is my max comfort zone when conditions are perfect. The 7-08 Im thinking is really pushing it for elk at those ranges,
Have you taken a look at these in a side-by-side comparison in a ballistics calculator?
I was astounded at the minuscule difference between the two when I started loading them at about the same time.
There isn't an elk on the earth that'd tell the difference between them.
