I think the 7mm-08 fills the bill as the least hyped, but super successful cartridge. I know that I don’t remember much being said about it for it’s first 10 or 15 years. I think it started out as the darling of the silhouette crowd. It took me about 25 years to understand that I needed one. It does all that my 270 before it did, and has become one of my favorite cartridges. From what I can tell, it is continuing to grow in popularity and rightfully so.


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
