Doesn’t make it bad...but the 7-08 is a thinking mans cartridge. It remains on its merits alone. JOC didn’t have to pimp it for 40 years for it to find acceptance. GOD Bless America

The 30-06 is probably the biggest name, but the 45-70, 7X57, 6.5X55, 308, 303 British, and the 223 are all known as great hunting cartridges.

But now we have 6.5 CM, 6.5PRC, 26 Nosler ,6.5-300... When did 7-08 become main stream like the 6.5 CM? All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

While it may have had a bit of a fuss made about it in the early '20s, it seems to receive mention only in articles about the 99 Savage now.
