IF you're looking for a range gun that you'll reload for, the choice is really a wash, unless you're looking for better SD from more readily available bullets. That's the 7mm's time to shine. For better versatility, the .308 wins, hands down. Either will work. During the shortage, however, 7mm bullets were slightly easier to find than .30s. Have you considered a 7mm-08 AI? Just a thought.
