[QUOTE="Str8shooterTX, post: 1071465, member: 82571"] IMHO at 700 yards the 308 is not having enough energy I'm getting around 780FPE on my calc. I don't like below 1100 FPE for Whitetail. YMMV. So really with that FPS with 150Gr bullet you're good out to 450-500 yards. But how often in PA will you take a 700 yard deer shot if ever? With the 7mm-08 you are getting similar energy numbers. 308 has better selection and availability of brass, bullets. Edge goes to 308. [/QUOTE]
