Which ever one you choose.  I doubt a deer or bear will notice the difference when hit out to 300 yards.  Place  your shot right, and they drop in their tracks from either.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

how bout a .338 federal. its a necked up 308 casing to .338.

father in law has one and it kicks just as easy as the 7mm08 in his safe. but thats probably cuz it is set up well.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.
