I have several of both and don't care who wins!! They are both great rounds!!! 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..... [/quote]

Even though I handload I sometimes find deals on loaded ammo I can't pass up. While I've not loaded any, some of the heavier 190-210 gr 308 bullets look darn good in a 308. At least on paper. Don't know how you answer that with a 7-08. Most people don't really want the truth. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

That's like arguing how a 165 BT is vastly superior to a 150 BT.

Even if you're limiting yourself to factory loads, you can find lots of options with the 7-08. Get whatever turns your crank. You'll be equally pleased.
