[QUOTE="WolfTrap, post: 261542, member: 15371"] Sam, Concerning both cartridges, the 7-08 will handle the 162 plus bullets much more readily than 7mmBR! But there lies the problem? The BR will shoot quarters at 200 using 120-140 bullets that will expand at 15 in. barrel limitations! (Remember.. 7mm bullets for the most part are modern and not given to performing well at non magnum velocities like their .308 Every-Weight-Shape Brethren?) Where as the 7mm 08 15 in. barrel does not allow optimum performance given the amount of powder one has to use for shot to shot SD. Powders designed for 15 inch tubes are limited to faster burning media that the slow burners 20inch plus rifles normally use for 7mmBR's Big Brother? In order to make SD in the 7 08....had to resort to filling up empty space with COW (Cream of Wheat), which was only marginally successful sending bullets at 300 yds? Does it mean one is more successful than the other? Depends on what you're after and the amount of work one has to put in for a meat gathering hunt? Regardless which one uses.....it the amount of time/practice that produces positive results. WolfTrap [/QUOTE]
