[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1119288, member: 30671"] The question can be asked the other direction. Why with so many comparable cartridges available would somebody pick the 7-08? For whatever reason (marketing) I think most look at the 7-08 as a cartridge for short compact youth rifle. It doesn't have to be true, just believable. Good, moderate, 7mm cartridges existed many years before the .308 case was available. Marketing works is the answer to the question, of why there are so many duplicate cartridges in nearly any caliber. Most of us could be issued purpose built rifles in an unknown cartridges/calibers, with exactly the same exterior ballistics, and our scores would be unchanged. With the advent of the 7mm 195 Berger, a lot of folks will be chambering 7mm for a couple of years, at least until Berger makes a comparable 6.5 bullet. [/QUOTE]
