The 7-08 I have now is about 3/4 inch groups to about 8 inch groups. 308 ammo is way cheaper to buy and easier to find if you don't reload. Reduced loads work fine in the 308. Myself personally would stick with the 308 between the two. Buying for a new shooter now though I would really consider a 6.5 caliber.

Oh they're fussy alright. What a load of hooey.
