[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2278135, member: 116486"] So what you are saying is that both are great options in the right platform. I own both and use 125gn Nosler BT in my Tikka .308 laminate and 120gn Nosler BT 120gn BT in the Tikka CTR 7mm-08 that is slightly heavier being the CTR model and it's great from the truck. I wanted a 7-08 cause I always wanted one. I would hunt with one in a sporter too. My first 200 factory loads were 139gn Hornady isp I think in Win factory ammo. I killed a lot of pigs with them and was satisfied with the cartridge capabilities. I could load heavier in both when required that is why a junior could grow into either. I use lighter projectiles because I like the Nosler and from the care I could be shooting a pig or a fox and taking numerous shots so I can shoot both comfortably and accurately from the car and when I shoot pigs it's sometimes headshots if I am quick enough so they are dead on their feet but even average pigs drop quickly with a chest shot from either.
