Apex Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Pro's - a tad flatter trajectory and less felt recoil Cons - not as easy to get ammo or brass, but easier than a lot of uncommon calibres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 7-08 is a great cartridge. Its a very accurate long range round and has perceptibly less recoil than the .308. Its just a simple barrel change, the mags etc all work just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 As Dave-relative recoil : 308 1.95 and 7-08 1.80 (cf 260rem 1.73 and 243rem 1.25). It's also a very good (red) deer stalking round.Ditto silhouette shooting,a tad OTT for precision tactical and there ,better cartridges for 1000y,especially competitively.What uses did you have in mind? gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
