[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 405010, member: 2580"] CVA 54, what I've learned in the last 40 yrs of shooting both. .308 Win is an accurate round with limited ballistics for long range. A 7mm Rem Mag with 168gr Smkhp's is twice as flat as a .308 with 168gr Smkhp's between 600 and 1000 yds, and is the equal or better for intrinsic accuracy. However, it doesn't kill deer in their tracks any better than a .308. Overall, I would give the edge to the 7 Rem. I now prefer hunting with a big .30 or .338 for anything except turkeys. A clean chest shot with a .30 x .378 or .340 drops them within 10 feet of where they were when hit, and they bleed out nicely, unlike a neck or head shot. Oh yeah, I hate tracking in the dark. Not much for 40 yrs or so, but just about sums it up. Good hunting, Tom [/QUOTE]
