This makes sense to me, most guys launching 160gr and heavier bullets aren't doing it from a 7-08 there using the larger cases. A good 160gr 7mm bullet at 3000fps is a wonderful all round Alberta game getter IMO.
Lots are using short action 6.5's of some sort and getting it done consistently on paper and flesh, them bullets just keep on going it seems.
I have a 7-08 with about 30rounds down the pipe that sits in the corner and often grab one of the three 260's when I want some trigger time or some meat.
