The 7mm-08 Remington is a rifle cartridge that is almost a direct copy of a wildcat cartridge developed around 1958 known as the 7mm/308. As these names would suggest, it is the .308 Winchester case necked down to accept 7 mm (.284) bullets with a small increase in case length. Of cartridges based upon the .308, it is the third most popular, behind only the .308 itself and the .243 Winchester.[1] In 1980, the Remington Arms company popularized the cartridge by applying its own name and offering it as a chambering for their model 788 and model 700 rifles.

I am 14 and want a rifle bigger then a .222 but smaller then .308?

The .243 Win is a great, it shoots 80 to 100 grain bullets, the 7mm-08 Rem is also very good it shoots 120 to 140 grain bullets. The .243 recoil is very lite te 7mm-08 is mild with 120 grain bullets. The 243 is a great deer round.

Both calibers have alot power but the 7mm is more powerful due to the fact that the bullets of the 7mm are in a higher grain than the .308. The 7mm also has a much higher recoil than the 308 and even the 30-06, both calibers have a high standard of performance but its no question the 7mm remington is more powerful

How do they compare 7mm rifle to 270 rifle?

Muzzle velocity and muzzle energy. 7mm uses .284 diameter bullets and the .270 uses .277 diameter bullets. The .270 is basically a necked down .30-06 case. 7mm comes in several different flavors. The 7mm Mauser is 6mm shorter than the .270/.30-06 and has less powder capacity. the 7mm Remington express (.280 Rem) has the same length (very close) as the .30-06, but the shoulder is slightly farther forward. This prevents it from being accidentally chambered in a .270 or .30-06 and gives a bit more powder capacity.


What is the difference between 7mm and 7mm mag guns?

There are several different calibers that can be called "7mm". They are not interchangable. If you have any doubts about the right cartridge for your gun, take it to a gun store so they can show you the right ammo. Using the wrong ammo can KILL you. Please be safe. Now that the obligatory safety warning is out of the way, let's talk about some of the cartridges. Remington, Winchester and Weatherby all have 7mm magnums. Remington also has a non magnum 7 mm, also known as the .280 Remington. There are many others, including the 7X57 (also known as the 7mm Mauser), 7X30 Waters, 7 TCU and my personal favorite, the 7mm-08 Remington. Hope this helps!
