[QUOTE="308 nate, post: 11634, member: 1920"] If you don't reload I would definately go with the .308 for there is a good supply of affordable match grade ammo.If you do reload I think you can't do much better than 7mm for anything in North America.First off weight to weight comparison the 7mm has a better BC and a higher SD compared to.30 cal.Secondly bullet selection is plentifull. Nosler makes nine 7mm bullets. Hornady makes sixteen 7mm bullets. Barnes makes sixteen 7mm bullets. Sierra makes fifteen 7mm bullets. speer makes twenty-one 7mm bullets. Berger makes two 7mm bullets. winchester makes one 7mm bulets. remingtom makes three 7mm bullets. not to mention JLK's and other custom bullets. And Sierra's new 175.that's 83 bullets not counting customs.what more could you want. don't mean to start a range war but I just get irritated when people say there isn't a good selection of bullets for the 7mm. And yes, I realize there is a bigger selection of bullets for the .30 cal. bountyhunter,I agree with you on the long action for the 7mmwsm but I guess I'm just a short action guy and that's why I suggested the 7mmsaum. I don't think they make a long action in .308 anymore and it may be hard to find a used left hand. forgot to mention, for ultra long range energy, heavier bullets than 7mm offers are required.(ultra long range meaning 1-2,000 yards.)
