Pygmy

Hehehehe.. I'm not about to get involved in a p*****g contest about one cartridge being "better" than another similar cartridge but I'll add my two cents..

The 7mm-08 is very close ballistically to the 7 x 57 , which has been killing all kinds of critters efficiently for over 100 years... It uses the same bullet, and if you shoot anything from a woodchuck to an elk with it in a vital area, said critter will expire very quickly, usually in a matter of seconds...

I like the 7mm-08 because it has mild recoil, NOTICEABLY milder than most .308s, 30-06s, .280s or even .270s that I've shot and it does the job very efficiently..

I've had good luck on deer with the 140 Nosler ballistic tip at around 2800 FPS...This year I'm trying the 120 Barnes TSX loaded to about 3000 FPS..It shoots very accurately in my rifle and some posters on another forum have been singing its praises as an excellent game bullet..
