I own a .308 and a 7mm Rem Mag. I've taken antelope and whitetail with both. The 7mm offers up a little more performance with a little more recoil. Both are excellent rounds and I doubt using one over the other will cause you to miss a shot or kill an animal.
One nod to the .308 is that ammo is a little cheaper and to get the best performance out of a 7mm, you need a longer barrel length. Those extra couple of inches make a difference in the woods.
Still, as much as I like the .308, I really enjoy shooting and hunting with the 7mm.
