@Dama dama 7mm08 load was 139 SST with full load of 2208 (unknown velocity), 308 was the 150 BT's with 2206H. Both stupidly accurate!
Im thinking as an all rounder for my needs the 7mm08 wins, main plus's being:
-Significantly quieter than the 16" 308 (gotta be better for me and the dog) Really noticed it at the range at the weekend.
-Easier on the suppressor, full loads of fast powder will be working it pretty hard
-on paper fractionally better ballistics (tho i doubt any difference in the real world)
-can use factory ammo if needs be without really leaving any performance on the table
-I'm a terrible for tinkering.... 7mm barrel opens up options of .284win down the line if someone will re-chamber the tikka barrel....
will give some thought for a few days yet, no need to rush these things eh!
