The 7mm-08 Remington is my all around gun. The cartridge is a necked down .308. The 7mm-08 develops more energy, is more accurate, with a flatter trajectory and less recoil than the .308 or 7mm magnum. Loaded with a 100 to 120 GR bullet, it’s great for varmints and loaded with a 140 up to 175 GR bullet it will take medium to big game including elk and bear.
