7mm08 appreciation thread

[Nathan F]

Someone stateside said the "difference between the 308 and 7mm08 is the 162 Amax", the other difference is probably the 120 grain BT. Its amazing the power of marketing, there is something in me that turns its nose up at the 7mm08 now, while the 308 seems more attractive, irrational really.

Ive always driven the a max harder with either a 7mmremmag or a 7mmrum . Faster is better with them I reckon. But back to the 7mm08 ive only ever loaded 140gn BT's and they sure knock them over . Red stags , Bull Tahr no problem . Big holes and big wound channels . Im going to try some barnes triple shock 120gns this summer . Id imagine going on my experience with the 140's the 120's would be equally effective if not better ?
