I fail to see the major difference between a 6mm-08 and a 7mm-08.
About 200lbs of energy for the 7mm at the cost of being 200fps slower and about 2-4 inches more bullet drop. thats all the difference, nothing more nothing less, they are basically the same gun whether you like it or not.
the 7-08 is nothing more than a .243 with a 140 gr bullet on the end of it.

Did you just quote yourself? You really are grasping at straws. And the 7-08 is more than a 243 with a 140 gr bullet on the end of it. It is a little thing called caliber. Say it slowly so it sinks in, CALIBER. 1mm might not sound like much, but it can make a big difference.
