To me it looks like the 7-08 is much more popular, based on the amount of guns remington chambers in those calibers. 13 for the 7-08 to the .280's 1.
Personally I like the ballistics of the .280 more than the 7-08 as I would assume most people would, but I haven't found any guns chambered for that other than the ruger's (don't want), encores (rather have a bolt gun right now), and the remington mountain lss (would rather have wood and blued, thats just me).
So rather than hold out for a .280 that I like, what do you think of a 7-08. I know they will both kill a deer the same but will that 150fps make a difference? And how does the 7-08 handle bullets heavier than 140gr?
