Like I said I have both and like both but belong in the ain't much difference camp. For those that get their backs up about the superiority of the 8x57 I am sort of curious is it the hairs width of bullet diameter, the massive weight difference of a piece of lead the size of a BB or the slight velocity difference that probably isn't much more than you will see in variation from one barrel to another in either caliber, that gives it the edge you feel it has.
When I say I don't see any difference it isn't a dishing of the 8x57 as I think the 308 is a da-n fine cartridge nor vice versa .i just don't see any edge that should provide consistent terminal difference in the field that couldn't be just a slight variable in shot placement or the individual tenacity of one deer elk, whatever over another. Certainly not enough to get bothered about.
