Is there a more optimum cartridge, I suppose but there are no flies on 7-08 he said it’s his favourite rifle, no brainer shoot what you know and are comfortable with. My 06 with 150’s won’t do much more. Dead is dead. This coming from a guy that shot 338, and 300 win for years. Cow last year with the 06, a Bull 4 yrs prior with wait for it……..7-08 with a 120 TTSX at 3150 out of a Kimber Montana. The bull took two steps backwards and piled up. The cow went 60yds and tipped over.
