Been using both for 30 years. I have only owned one 7x57 but many 308 rifles. Nothing I have shot with one couldn't have been taken with the other. I like the way the 7x57 fits Mauser actions better and for short actions a 308 is it. Today if I had to pick one considering components the 308 would get the nod.
