Everyone are bringing up good points. The cost of ammo is not going to be a factor but availabity is if we ge into a shortage again of ammo.
I like the long range specs and match specs for the 7mm-08
But the 308 is what all of my other long guns have. I got rid of my all but 1 9mm pistol in the quest to reduce my requirement to have multi types of ammo.
Looking at elk and goats from 300-500 meters.
TR good points on what rounds will be on the shelf out in the country side. Had not thought of that yet. The 30-06 and 308 are looking better from that aspect.
Keep the comments coming they are knocking out the cobwebs and getting me to think about other aspects...  |
The 7mm-08 is a good cartridge, I personally hunt with a .260 Rem., which is the 7mm-08 (.284") necked down to .264" diameter.
In looking at the list of cartridges the Model 70 Super Grade is available in, I would choose 300 WSM. But that's just me.
If you want something in 7mm, go with the 7mm Rem. Mag., you can find that all over too. Gives you better long range capability too.
