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

Late to this discussion but here goes my take,

I have a couple of rifles in both 7mm-08 and 308 and have killed a bunch of stuff with both.

If I am in really open country I like the 7mm-08 a little better,in thicker stuff I prefer the 308. But a guy can get by with either one in either place. The 308 seems to hit a little harder with it's 165 grain loads than the 7mm-08 with 140s. They have tended to exit more and kill quicker,so I like them in thick stuff.

The 7mm bullets do shoot flater and deflect a little less in the wind when you get past 300 yards or so. This has been the case for me in actual shooting out to 500 yards.

PS,

Mr. Stick,glad to finally hear from you here,you're kinda famous.
