rifleman25 Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 How do the ballistics of the .308 win and the 30-06 compare. Are they simmilar enough to expect about equal preformance out of either one? Then How does the 7mm-08 compare to the 308? Again whats the difference?

Canadian_Goose Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Re: What is the biggest difference? the 7mm will be a .284 cal if im correct but thats about al I know. Aj will be here soon enough . If not got the federal website and check it out. THey have ballistic charts there. I do know .308 cycles better through the semi auto action.

rifleman25 Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Re: What is the biggest difference? That could very well be the diameter but I was wondering if the 7mm-08 and the 308 were bulit on the same case, and if so how they compare ballistically. I am also wondering about how close ballistically the 308 win and the 30-06 are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str8shooter48 Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Re: What is the biggest difference? THe 7mm08 is basically a 308 win case necked down to .284 diameter. Ballistically the 308 win and the 30-06 are pretty close with bullets up to and including 180gr. The 30-06 has the bigger advantage with bullets weighing 200gr.+ Check out the Remington ballistic page at their site and you can compare 7mm08 vs 308 and 30-06 vs 308 win http://www.remington.com/products/ammunition/ballistics/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
