I have recently convinced him to drop the 7-08 idea and either do a 308 or 6.5 Creedmoor based simply on the fact that he was doing strictly factory loaded ammo. Not that the 7-08 isn’t capable as it was initially designed and came to being as a silhouette round. It’s just that it’s primarily a hunting round now and has fell out of fashion as a target round with all the 6 and 6.5’s out there now. Thanks for the help as I wasn’t finding ANY prefab target ammo in 7-08.
I was hoping you could move things in that direction. This is coming from an owner of many 308's which I do enjoy: Now push him toward the 6.5.
Yep.
For a guy who doesn’t reload, hard to beat a.6.5 CM. Factory ammo is not that expensive and shoots great.
I have all three and for the nonreloader, 6.5 CM would be my pick.
