[QUOTE="pondskipper, post: 1119213, member: 26430"] Did you notice the retained energy between it and the 300 Remington ultra mag at 1500 meters? Crazy that the two have the same max supersonic range, almost identical retained energy at that range and I'm absolutely positive that the 7mm08 will outlast the 300 rum 2:1 for barrel life, I would assume it would be fairly safe to say when you look at bore to powder capacity that the 7/08 should last at least 4000 rounds before its a tomato stake, you are only talking about a bore diameter reduction of .024" total from 308 which should be fairly negligible as far as barrel degradation is concerned between the 308 and 7mm08, given that the bullets are longer and somewhat thinner will hamper case capacity when loaded to mag length which should (in theory) reduce wear even more, so I'm willing to bet a 162gr amax with 38-39 grains of varget or a healthy dose of h4350 or even rl17 in lapua brass with cci br2 primer should be a hell of a combo.
