Thread: Q: 7-08 Ammo

I was just talking to one of ammunition suppliers today and his suggestion was if you can’t get ammo for your gun now sell it quick and buy a 308 or 270.
My thoughts are 7mm 08 ammo is going to be very scarce for the next five years.

Me too by the time I have saved up i'll know for sure.

Get a 308 mate pretty much the same and factory ammo will be much easier to come by, suppressed they are really easy to shoot if recoil is of concern

Dam. I could have necked that up to 30cal

The death of the 7-08 is greatly exaggerated.

It’s not even a thing

There’s that many 7mm08 in the Kawekas I swear you could walk Northern birch on a Sunday arvo and find enough 7mm08 ammo dropped from GoPro bags to last you until the next weekend

It's definitely not dead and it is a good caliber but for guys that shoot factory ammo times are getting tough

Can everyone scaremonger the death of 7mm RM so I can buy one of them cheap to go with my obsolete 7mm08.

As a fellow owner of both, I can testify that these are both utterly useless chamberings, have seen 7mm bullets bounce off deer whilst all 6.5mm ones will go through 8 inches of steel and be good fo 1/4 MOA to 2km.






Of course 7mm will become good again when Hornady comes out with the 7mm PRC...

It might yet come to that.

Or just buy a 7x57 and look around and stock up on 4 or 5 boxes and you will be set for years.
