Go with the .308� The 7-08 is like a chick wearing a strap on.

Its not a REAL pissing contest without the ballistical skullpfhuk. Drop, Drift, MV, FPE. 100-500yds. Now its a "numbers don't matter, look at the pile of chit I've killed, you can't shoot, your momma has a mustache" battle..... ![[Linked Image]](http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx210/16bore/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps6df12655.jpg)

when it comes to hunting rat-sized alaskan brown bear, I think that we can all agree that the increased frontal diameter of a .30 cal bullet over a phaggy european 7mm gives the extra edge in DRT performance.

Dump that rifle and buy a new one.
Both 7-08 and 308 are good however availability wise the 308 is easier to find plus it's a US military cartridge.
You did buy a WSM magnum however! Are you still going to want the extra range?
A 270 Featherweight would work.

I'd go with a 9 twist 7mm08 slinging 162 A Max cause that will kick the crap outta the 308 at 400 yds. Kick the crap....Kick the crap.....Kick the crap outta the 308. Grin

Let's all be clear. There are obvious differences. One shoots so much flatter and the other has much more knockdown power. It is obvious. You can poll hunters. They will tell you why one is better than the other. The differences are vast. The killing power between the two is totally different. And the ranging differences...wow. Night and day, those two cartridges. It is even hard to compare them. Like apples and...and apples.
That said, it is obvious which one is better.

OTC will probably always favor the 308. That'd be my choice in your situation.

From a practical accuracy standpoint there is not the proverbial �un+ hairs difference between the .308 and 7-08 shooting from field positions at any reasonable hunting range with a Model 70 Featherweight.

let's get back to 'slave's mom and not let this thread be derailed by a .308 vs .284 discussion.

Nice...she didn't look too far when she shot. Do you know the distance of the shot by chance? Nope. P
Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.
