There`s been a lot of stuff taken with my 7mm RM over the last 30plus years and before that a 308 W was the go to rifle.

I rolled another stag last week with my 7mm and for all of the super calibres that are touted as "this can do this and that can do that" the 7mm does the job without fail every time 'if i do my part'
Most of those kills over the years would have fallen to a 308 btw,most not all.

Old Chuck lists the 308 with 150 gr @ 15.8 fp`s and the 7mm RM with the same weight pill @ 19.2 fps recoil energy,hardly worth complaining about unless you are a brand newcomer to the centre fire world and coming straight from an air gun or .22rm.

I know blokes that kill all they want with a 308,try one,dont let anyone put you off it at all as it is a great rifle calibre in this country.
