Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles opinion of 7mm-08 rem. vs 308

rem shooter,

Bullet sectional density also affects penetration into a game animal.

If it's important to you. In order to get the same sectional density that a 7mm 140 grain bullet has, a .308 bullet weighs in about 165 plus grains. i.e. more recoil with a 308Win for the same penetration with the 7mm shooting a large animal.

rem shooter.My opinion, if any one cares, is get the used Model 7 in 7mm-08 and use the $200 towards getting as good a scope as you can for it.
