Difference Between 7mm-08 and 308
 

I was wondering what the difference is between these two calibers?

.284 X 140gr X 2800fps

.308 X 150gr X 2800fps

The 7-08 has a higher sectional density and ballistic coefficient (when comparing those std loads) meaning it drops less and should penetrate better.

huh........

what part did you not understand? be happy to clarify

308 = parent case to 7mm-08
7mm-08 is a 308 necked down to accept 7mm (.284) bullets.
Both are short action rounds, considered "inherently" accurate, and effective deer-stoppers.

No no you explainded it well i just found it pretty interesting how much some people know....

I bought my wife a Marlin 7-08 340.00 cheap compared to my 1,000.00 270WSM and I have killed two with the 7-08 and love it it is my go to gun when the wife doesnt go

what would make u say that....ive always thought the .308 as a better round

Uhh, .62mm, DOHHHH.

There you go being helpful again.
