Well, I went out and picked up my new handi-rifle in 243 win today that I ordered last week. Very impressive cartrige. That was until somebody I never meant before starting shooting a 7mm-08 beside me. He informed me that he reloads and then he demonstrated what it could do. I started to second guess my purchase after finding out that vast array of loads and combinatons you can get out of a 7mm-08. Well the positives I found were a short action, low recoil, long range capable, varmint to elk, 100gr-175gr bullets, factory ammo everywhere and any gun manufacture you desire. Good luck on picking out just one new gun! My marriage criteria for my wife was that she owned guns.
