Was just going apples to apples:
quote:
Note that with bullets of the same weight and style, such as the 100 grain .243" and .257" bullets or the 150 grain .311" and .323" bullets, the smaller diameter bullet always has the superior BC due to its better sectional density.

Who is going to shoot a 80 or 100 grain bullet out of a 7mm-08 for hunting?
I think the OP would be best served by a .308 but the 7mm-08 is a far better hunting round than a .243 from my experience with both cartridges. On paper the 243 is outclassed in every category except Muzzle Velocity, but the crap BC makes it not as good downrange- which is not what either one of these rifles are designed for.
