Yes, the -08 will compare badly with that load. But then, nobody shoots a bullet that heavy with the 08.....my point was simply that the 7mm08 is entirely effective on deer sized game at longer ranges, and fairly flat shooting in it's own right. All while being much more shooter friendly. I'm not saying it is 'better' than the Mag. Just that it gets underestimated.
