This is more of an opinion poll, I guess, but I'm wondering why we don't see more 7-08s on this site than we do?
I realize the popularity of the .308 is directly proportional to its military use. I get that all the 6.5s (6.5.47, Creedmoor, .260, etc.) have less recoil. Yet, I'm still surprised that there are more 7s in light of the fact that it seems to combine the best of both worlds. Is it just the lack of good brass? That didn't seem to affect the .260, even before Lapua was making brass. So why not the 7-08?
