I wanted to like the 7-08, but had too many tote one off without exits. Found every deer I shot with it but there was always that scenario in the back of my mind. Went back to .30 caliber after that trial run.
Speaking of .270. The most beautiful and smoothest rifle I’ve ever owned, or seen, was in .270. Saved a long time out of high school and purchased a Sauer and Sohn S202. To this day I regret selling that gun… Killed a good bit of deer with that gun and can’t remember having any issues.
Not a lick of difference between the .270 and 7-08 other than short vs long action.
I have never lost a deer with a 7mm-08. No qualifiers needed. It may be the perfect caliber for animals 250 lbs or less, 300 yards or less. I play with a bunch of rifles and calibers, but I have never felt undergunned when I was carrying a 7mm-08. I feel the same about a 270 Win, and a dozen other calibers.
