Visit any bullet manufacturer's website and compare a 120 grain 6.5mm bullet to a 120 grain 7mm bullet. The 6.5 has a much better B.C.

IMO, you should built the 7-08 with 140 grain plus bullets in mind.
roger that.........there isn't a lot of lighter pills to choose from for the 7mm for long range target otherwise Id of already pulled the trigger on a 26"..1-10 twist from criterion
higher bc doesn't always equate to better and consistent accuracy. I don't want to have to tool up for a barrel change either. Im sucking every bit of life from my 308 cartridge go gauges lololo
