130 - 150 grains seems to be the norm.
The 30-06 shoots a bullet which is 7.62 mm in diameter, so the 30-06 is "bigger" in that sense. Several different weights of bullet are available in either caliber, so that's an undetermined variable. There are several different 7mm cartridges (7mm Mauser, 7mm Magnum, 7mm H&H, 7mm-08), so you have to be more specific when comparing ballistics.
yes it sure would be good out to 350 yds with a 140 gr bullet
The 08 is referencing the parent case, the .308, necked down to accept at .284 diameter bullet versus the .308 caliber. Other variations of the .308 case: .243 Win, .260 win
Yes. I have a Savage Model 110 7mm-08. I don't think they make it in this model anymore, but they do make 7mm-08 in other models.
NO!!
The cartridge known as the 7mm-08 was derived from the .308 Win (7.62x51mm). The casing mouth is necked down from the original 7.62mm (.308") to 7mm (roughly .280").
that would depend on which 7mm cartridge you are referring too. ie 7mm-08, 7mm Rem mag, etc
NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Danger, danger, danger.
The caliber designation of 7mm-08 is considered a short action.
It's a substantially more powerful cartridge. It does have a smaller bullet diameter than the 7.62x39, but a substantially higher muzzle velocity with a heavier projectile.
