    The cartridge and firearms industry relies upon hyping the new the latest and greatest ti gin up sales. Despite this solid performers like the 30-06, 270, 308, etc. prove to be completely sufficient to bring home the bacon year by year. Its all physics and there is no free lunch. A 30-06 best the latte 7mm-08 in every practical way, but the recoil is about 20% more. I don't know too many outdoorsmen who in the field who can capitize on a 1" flatter tragetory at 200 yards.
    I can see of no advantage of the 7mm-08 vs the 308. The only advantage the 06 has over the 308 is if you need to shoot 180 to 200 gr. Bullets. I can't see where the 130 gr 270 outshines the 150 gr. 30-06.......they both are good.
