RE: browning a-bolt
Interesting that you decide to bring up that point now. The 7mm-08 has one beat at 400, and beats the 308 and is less than a 30-06 at 500. But certainly nothing to right home about. Even when it beats the 308, at 500, it isn't by much. And quite frankly if I was going to shoot at anything at 500 yards, which I'm not, the 7mm-08 would be way down on my list of choices if it was even on the list at all.

RE: browning a-bolt
im 36 years old ,been hunting since i was 12,own 300 acers in frankfort ky,and have 8 rifles and the 7mm-08 is just one of em,so i dont think you know me or what you are talking abot,and by the way it is the ballistic twin of the of the 270 and 280 with a little less recoil,all i am saying that it is a awsome round for a short action to be able to perform with long action rifles,and no one was arguing.

Was never sayin it wasn't a good round. Just doesn't have more power than the 308 or 30-06. Till 400 or 500yards as you pointed out, which doesn't mean a thing as it wouldn't be my choice for a longe range rifle.
