Whats the groups thoughts on the 7mm 08 cartridge? In the thought process of adding another rifle to the collection (which means I’ll buy it sometime in the next 6 months to 5 years) and did some sniffing around into to this round. Initial research it looks on paper to be fairly similar to the 270 Winchester but less recoil. The lower recoil I’ve come to enjoy more after plinking with the 6.5 creed moor my son will be taking over once he grows a tad more. My first plan was to get another 6.5 since i enjoy shooting it but the more I shoot/research it the less I feel it’s the best choice for larger than whitetail size game, another 270 isnt out of the question (i have a remington 700 in 270 already), but as I ponder about it more I wouldn’t mind a different option altogether in the new rifle too. This new rifle would be my primary hunting round for whitetail and (hopefully in the years to come) pronghorn, mule deer and possibly up to elk sized game. After getting to shoot a suppressed rifle last fall i plan on getting a threaded rifle so that I can eventually suppress it which would mitigate some of the recoil (of any caliber) but should laws change being able to use it may not be guaranteed.
