[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 513786, member: 6452"] I have both a .270 and a .308. When you run the numbers they are balistically nearly identical. The 7mm might have better high BC bullet options than either a .308 or .277 but the .308 sized case can't take advantage of those long heavy bullets the way a 7mm Rem Mag can. If you want something different I'd say get the 7mm-08 but since you could save on components and dies I'd say stick with the .308. If you both shoot the same bullet it will make calling wind etc. identical for the both of you which might make practice easier. Personally I am keeping my .308 and wondering what to change my .270 in to. I'd like to go to a 7mm Mag as that is the most significant performance jump I can see with a standard Remington 700 long action. The .308 length short action rifles do seem a bit handier when carrying but that could be in my head. Might balance better for a kid though. That's a long winded way of saying flip a coin as a deer probably won't be able to tell the difference. [/QUOTE]
