If you get outside of that with bullets, or with calibers you open yourself up for litigation if something goes wrong.
Shame how lawyers tend to screw everything up.

To get the best advantage of a higher BC of the 7mm Bullet you’ll need to go heavier and the powder capacity just isn’t there in the 7-08.
You could take the 308 all the way down to 16” and still do what you want easily.

300 RUM? 26 Nosler? 308 being basically a boat anchor ballistically? Come on guys, he wants a 20" deer rifle.

Originally posted by Outbreaker View PostI was talking with a procurement officer for a local PD. He said what drives it more than anything is the FBI research and what is considered "Normal". This also drives the need for factory researched, tested and real world used ammo.

The op didn’t say I want to spend a lot more money to get something that will do the same thing his 308 would do.
Sometimes we want to be different so bad we do things like that.
Good luck!
