Head to head 308 Win vs 7mm-08 Rem
The deciding factor b/n these two rounds is not ballistics or energy in my opinion. Why? Because there really is no significant difference. Its like arguing 9MM, 40 S&W or 45 automatic. For me the difference is brass availability (cheap brass), and bullet selection. I like the 308 Winchester due to these factors and find the mainstream to work to my advantage in cost and quantity of reloadable ammo. I can always move my scope a click or two more or select a different mil dot for the 308. I use virtually the same powder all the time as well: Varget. No I don't think I boring.
