NO - I havetwo 7-08s and a couple'06s among other chamberings. The 7-08 is a fine deer cartridge no doubt. But it is not a 30-06. The old '06 will run circles around the smaller 7. Especially with a 180 gr bullet.
The 7-08 is closer ballistically to the 270 but still a bit lacking. I like the 7-08 don't get me wrong. I just isn't as potent or as versitile as the good old '06.
