Ballistically speaking.....
As in another thread, the issue of the 30-06 vs. the .308 was questioned. Truthfully, I prefer the .308, but understand, that is just personal preference!
I do have a little experience with the 7MM-08, and thats where this thread goes.....
I've seen larger deer sized game KO'ed with the 7MM-08 at well over 300 yards, and in most ballistic charts, the 7MM-08 has even better "retained energy", when the .308 starts slowing down.
Does anyone with "real world" experience find this to be true?
If so, the 7MM-08 would be darn near the perfect cartridge for game through Mule deer size.
