Yeah, the 7mm-08 is a fine hunting cartridge. It is also a good long-range cartridge, initially adopted by the metallic silhouette shooters because it was light recoiling enough to shoot in a lightweight rifle and had enough retained energy to knock down the 500 meter rams. The rifles had to be lightweight enough that they could shoot them off their shoulders while standing on their hind legs.
The 7mm-08 is a great cartridge. Perfectly capable of taking all the medium game on the continent.
