Good luck buddy. I stumbled up on some in the spring and got enough for this deer season since I have 3 kids hunting this year

If you ever come by bedico, I have some you can have.

I sold the 7-08 barrel I had.

Ammo Seek currently has four listings. Expensive($4/round), but available.

If I buy a new deer rifle it will be 308, even though I think 7mm08 is the sweet spot for deer cartridges.

If you can find it locally, that's great, but at this point it's time to pull out all the stops.

My suggestions:
1. Go to Midway, Natchez Shooters Supply, Midsouth Shooters Supply, Graf's, Powder Valley and (possibly) Widener's and search for 7-08 ammo using their "available/in stock" feature. Check w/ each of them every few hours.
2. On each of the above sites, use the "notify me when available" feature. For your sake, I hope your work filter doesn't block gun/ammo sites like mine does. I've been looking for Reloder 17 gun powder for 11 months. Got an email notification last week it was available at Midsouth, but my work wifi filter blocked me from ordering it. My first opportunity to check on the powder w/o using work wifi was 5 hours later.....It was out of stock already.
3. Find someone locally who handholds and will load you up a few.

Good luck!.

This is exactly where I’m at. My dad and uncle both that 7-08s so it makes it more interchangeable for ammo, but I’m getting a new rifle after this season and I’m leaning .308 just for availability reasons.

Where do you live? I'm headed to academy later and if they have a box I'll pick it up. They had one 2 weeks ago when I got some 308 and 223 soft points.

Edit: this is LC academy. I don't mind mailing it either if there is some.

I have materials to load about 2K rounds of 7mm-08.

Give me a contact if you need help.

I'm in St Amant and would be willing to part with a box of Hornady 139gr american whitetail if you'd like.

I appreciate the effort! I’m currently out of town working I’m gonna hit some small shops and see what I can dig up!

Your best bet will almost certainly be Gunbroker.com, but it will probably cost more than the usual retail. However, you’re probably only needing 2-3 boxes, so the extra cost wouldn’t be too prohibitive.

I have 5 boxes but I'm scared to even go sight in my rifle. Guess I will be shopping for a 308 soon.
