[QUOTE="WildcatB, post: 220516, member: 10379"] ??? I just ran the numbers on a 7mm-08 with the 162 AMAX vs a .308 with a 168 grain Berger VLDs. Unless I did something wrong, the .308 carried more energy down range. I used a mv of 2500 for the 7mm-08 (from accurate powder) and a mv of 2760 (what I get with my load) for the .308. While I only practice with a .308, I feel it's a very capable caliber for hunting. At my elevation with the load I use, it produces 1000+ ft/lbs at 800 yards. Not too shabby... [/QUOTE]
