There's a guy out of Canadian Texas that used to shoot a 7-08 in Highpower Rifle Competition. He even won a thing or two with that caliber (before he moved on to the 6.5-08 and later the 6X and 6XC.
David was smart enough to recognize it and change.
Notice he went to 6.5 mm and 6mm, not to .308................ummmmm..................grin
Tubb could shoot a pellet gun and kick everyone's azzz.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
