Slopshot,
You are welcome.
""If American riflemen and gunwriters hadn't been so hard at work overstuffing their egos, like some do cartridge cases, and Remington's think tank and marketing dept. had a better approach, we might have the 6mm instead of that other bastard child, the .243 Win.""
And I agree totaly on this. If only Bob Millek (SP) had been on their staff!! and TSX's had been in exhistance, ofcourse.
Nothing is fool proof for a sufficiently talented fool !!

I prefer the 7x57 over the 308 for it's advantages. I would have a 7-08 but neither of the rifles I owned in that caliber shot well enough to please me, so I got rid of them.
Our God reigns. Harrumph!!! I often use quick reply. My posts are not directed toward any specific person unless I mention them by name.

The [bleep] has spoken.... Larry... I dunno what to tell you. In Montana, if you really want too, you can shoot B tags by the trailerfull. Here was one day two falls ago (all my tags BTW, my brother had his in the back of the truck) It humors me when douchebags like you pretend that [bleep] of your level are the only ones that know anything about killing game. I remember one day last fall at grampa's farm (Flathead Riverbottom) I filled 5 170B tags in about 30 minutes with a 308. Seriously.... How many critters have you shot and ate in your hunting "career" ??

Douche,
It takes far more than a wagon full of tits,for a 308 to hang with a 7-08. Very good call to refrain load particulars and just cry instead,if only as per your usual.
In fact,few do it better.
Congratulations?!!?...............

[bleep],
I run a 165 grain Speer HPBT at an OAL of 2.810 over 45.5 grains of Varget in WW brass with plain vanilla Federal spark plugs for a MV of 2742 AVG with an ES of 9. My primer pockets are still nice and tight on loading #7 Now thats an ACTUAL big game bullet with a BC of .520...
Now other than you're mythical .625 BC AMAX, I really don't see any edge with a 7-08. Now if you want lots of really high BC bullets with a flat trajectory, you keep necking down until you hit 6.5.
BTW, I shot quite a few AMAXs in a 24" tubed 7-08. In reality, I'd say that BC is a whole lot closer to .550. It might go .625 out of an STW, but it ain't all that and a twinkie at a fictional 2700.

Oh, and way to not answer a question...
Here, I'll start....
I've whacked about 150-175 critters in Montana in the 20 years I've been hunting... But yet, I know nothing.

Actually Bryan Litz has confirmed the BC of the 162 Amax. Above 2500fps it is .614, above 3000fps it is .633. The G7 BC of the 162 Amax is .307 which is significantly better than anything of similar weight in 30cal. Rath

Douche finds herself in a quandry often,which is a never ending series of blatant lies,fueled by her angst and sprinkled copiously with gross inexperience. Though in fairness,the melding doesn't ever not interject incredible amounts of humor...all of which is oblivious to her feeble perceptors. Quite a blueprint there!
Much to her chagrin,the .625BC 162 is a known commodity and exceptional upon all levels(in it's current form). I get a kick outta her talking out her azz,as the mood swings and incredible ineptuitude,never don't delight.
Can't slight her penchant to Dream...it's ALL she's got and a gal's gotta have something..............

I can't believe you guys can find reasons to insult and bash each other over the difference between the 7-08 and the .308. What's next for you guys, .30-30 vs. .32 Special?

moosemike, you really don't get it. This has nothing to do with the 7-08 .308 debate. This is all about Larry. Everything is about Larry. The universe, of course, centers around Larry, so this is no surprise.

I know I'd feel better if someone would post a picture of a scantily clad gorgeous babe ( kind of an anti-angst measure...)
