I hear what you are saying about supply and demand and the election results, but I am still at a loss as to why this particular caliber would go up more than than many others. I know that there is not as much 7mm-08 manufactured as 308, 270, and others, but on the other hand, there certainly is not as much demand. Once more, I did not observe a big difference in price from other calibers years past. Since the 7mm-08 uses the same brass as the 308, I wonder if there is something affecting the production of the 7mm bullets. Not to be cynical, but I doubt it.
