I have both and you can't really tell the 7-08 kicks any less. Both are great rounds, but I liked the 150 grain federal load in the 7-08 which is so close to the 308.
Get the 308. Cheaper shells (milsurplus too), more bullets choice for handloader, bigget bullets too, and I think Round Nose 180s make fantastic close range deer whackers.


Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?
