so in that case 7mm aought 8 wouldnt make any sense.
as its a 308 case with a 7mm bullet ....no?

thats my thinking anywho.
Elderly people lol.......................Children know better

It's aught, ought or naught....never "aought"......and it simply means zero. So 7mm aught 8 is just as reasonable as 30 aught 6

Even Jethro Bodine got it right when he said he wanted to be a double naught spy. Before your time though...

7mm aught 8 is fine by me.............but I call mine a 7OH8
