RE: deer: 270 vs 7mm-08 vs 308
Usually these types of posts turn into a " don' t get those. get a....300 mag or a 7mm mag" post I' m glad to see this one didn' t.
I don' t own a .308 so I cannot comment on it, but the .270' s and the 7mm 08 I have are both great shooters and don' t carry a heavy recoil. I haven' t used the 7mm 08 in a deer hunting situation yet, but am very impressed with the accuracy. My 270' s have both been used on whitetails and they don' t go very far after being hit by one of them. Not far at all.
