About LinkBacksPeople keep going on about the less recoil thing but I seriously think it's bollocks. I haven't noticed that at all. My 7mm-08 shooting a 160g kicks the same as a 308 shooting the same.
Think about it. Same weight bullet, same powder charge, same rifle. Where's this mystical loss of recoil going?
I suspect if you get two model 700's, one in 308, one in 7mm-08 you wouldn't be able to tell the difference in kick. Even if there was a minute difference you won't notice it in the heat of the moment in a hunt.
You can load slightly heavier bullets in a 308, but the 7mm-08 has a better ballistic coefficient. As Vietnamcam said "there is no real world practical difference in performance."
