Thread: 308 vs 7mm08 all rounder?

We can argue this one 'til the cows come home, then leave again.

FWIW @Hunty1, the best thing I ever did to my Tikka .308 was cut it from 22" to 18", suppress it, and go from 150gr to 165gr. It shot good before, but now its a handier carbine with heavier hitting killing power out to whatever you're confident shooting. It's knocked over a few reds between 300-350m, and has taken over now as the goto rifle for hill country deer. Thing is, the hill country borders the forest...

What I like about the .308 Win the most is that I can carry the normal 165gr ammo for standard 100-400m shooting, duck into the bush for some stealthy action with 151gr subs if the opportunity arises, and if I get onto a batchelor mob of reds in the woods and a chance for a really heavy, close range red stag, slip in a 180gr RN ProHunter... And the BDC reticle takes care of the rest.

Its such a versatile cartridge, the .308 Winchester.
