For the nay sayers of the little 7mm08, heres proof that it works..:)
 
Who thinks the 7mm-08 is too small? It is a 7x57 wannabe, and everyone knows that a 7x57 is a fine game round!:)
 
7mm-08 is a great caliber! Congrats on taking a nice brownie! Tell us more about the kill; Handloads or factory ammo? Bullet type & weight? Distance of the shot?

Got inta calgree and decided I needed me a backup bar raffle. guide took mee to tha neeerest bass pro shoppin center. talked to a mister at tha gun counta and says I need me a backup bar raffle in a smooth workin leevar akshun.

I says whatcha got hind the counta. Well the smooth talkin gun man tried didnt have anything that I wanted. No 500wssms, nothin. All he had wuz a BLR 7mm08. I says the hell you say. then he showed meee tha box of windychesters in 140gr. it sed that there good fer Bar!!! well aight i says, guess thats whatim gonna git.

Well it was a tough hunt. sat in a treestand and it was a freezing canadian +10 degrees celsius i tell ya boy. Damn cold in them northern lattytudes.

Then on the last day before ma plane flew outta the state capital of Calgreee in tha republic of albertya, This bar tried to climb up my tree stand. Them bars is sure sneaky.climbed up tha back side a tha tree!!

WELL then it was on. took out ma 12 inch daniel booney bar skinnin' knife and took a few swipes at em'

by jeebus, i says git offa ma tree.And by thunderin that Bar, jumped off ma tree and hit tha ground.

Well I dropped my bar knife, then reached for ma pistol. but wouldja believe that canadian cold froze the damn thing shuts I tell ya. pulled and pulled the trigger but nothing. Just plain froze stiff.

Well nows what ta do i says. I says grab yer 500WSSM ya fool, i says. but jeeprs if that citement didnt maken me drop the damn raffle. Just then i memebred bout tha smooth talkin gun man at yer bass shoppin pro centr.

I took a good aim at ha bar and BOOOOOOOM. tha wittle 7ty-Oh-8 dropped him cold!

Gave a pistol and 500wssm to ma guide as a tip for puttin me on tha big canadjun bruin.

took my new 7ty-ohs 8 home. Taxeeedermist says I get ma rug wehn ma background check cleers. cant wait ta git ma new rug.


and it happened just like that. I swear. :cheers:
 
Well, most likely the game the folks talk about dropping in this thread with a 7-08 is plain and simple down right lucky shots!!!:p

Sure, on small deer it can work but please have more consideration for the game you go after and use something suitable.All we need is more wounded animals running around with 7mm sized wounds because the rifle didn't have the guts to do the job.;)

Oh, FYI, Swift Sciroccos work nice in that little 7-0h-8.:D
 
The 7mm-08 was designed for people who have arms that are too short to cycle a .280.

You've all seen them at one time or another. Same ones that cut up mooses with little 3 inch bladed hunting knives.
 
oh come on now you didnt shoot that bear he died of laughter after he found out what you were packin lol, everyone knows you need a 458 to hunt bear geesh........serious side why I just ordered 1 in a tikka t3 stainless laminate :p
 
What are you guys on? I hope your being sarcastic... That round is plenty powerful enough for bear. Its a bigger diameter then the 6.5X55 and that round will take down just about anything if you do your part.
