7mm-08 Well, not to get off subject to much I wanted to comment on the 7mm-08 a little bit, you don't find to many people that use that round, just for the record, Personally I feel it is the most overlooked round out there, In all reality it is what I deam to be the perfect hunting round in almost every way, if you compare it ballisticly to everything else for normal hunting use it will take care of any needs in north America, the only reason you would need anything larger is to hunt longer ranges, and in all reality most game is taken well inside of 300 yards, I consider anything else over kill it's just not necessary, I truly love the 7mm-08, that being said, back to the issue at hand, I have used the 220 swift and the 22-250 for years for varmit work, you could not talk me out of giving them up for the .204 for anything, or so I thought, after shooting a friends for one afternoon I was completely sold, that was two years ago and neither one of my 220 swifts or my 22-250 has been out of the vault since, I would give them away tomorrow with out a second thought, the little .204 rains supreme it is lightning fast has little or no recoil deadly accurate and has a much quieter report compared to the other two, and the ammo is much cheaper, the only thing I regret is not buying it sooner, hands down the .204 is a much better round, buy it you will not be sorry, I have three now!!!
