My cousin and uncle both have shot 7mm-08s for years and have shot all kinds of game with them. Moose, Elk, deer, bear, and coyotes. Very impressive little gun. I think of it like a 308 with a better bc really. Buddy would never load bullets heavier than 120's in a 257 so the comparison that TC did is a good I think? Energy down range with the 257 to 08 to rm all close enough that a deer won't know the diffrence. I've also seen what the 257wby can do to meat and it's not good with a marginal shot. Shorter action, lighter gun, bigger bullet selection, nice recoil. My pick would be the 7mm-08.
