Does the 7mm08 Remington have a significant following in Europe or is it mostly just a U.S. based round? | ||

I have been to France, Austria, and Bulgaria. The 7mm/08 was in Paris and Sophia at the gun rooms we went to. There is a nice gun room in Vienna that had 7mm/08 back in 2015. One of my guides on Bulgaria carried a 7mm Rem Mag. There was a lot of common Ammo and lots of loads were available in Sophia, Paris, and Vienna. | |||

In Europe you would probably find the 7x57 or the 7mm Brenneki, probably spelled that one wrong. A cartridge very similar to the 280 Remington. These are both created in Europe. the 7x57 was designed by Mauser a a military cartridge and quickly proved it self in the field. Like the 8x57 or the 30-06. The Brenneki was designed as a sporting cartridge that did what the 7x57 but a bit faster. The 7-08 is a good cartridge that is a ballistic twin to the 7x57 that fits a shorter action. The only way to know if you can do a thing is to do it. | |||

In my neck of the woods 7mm/08 is used both for roe - and red deer and moose. You will find ammo in most of the bigger sporting stores selling firearms. Not as common as the "three big ones" 6,5x55, 308 W and 30-06 Sprg, but it pops up on a regular basis, and is spoken well of by those who use it. Arild Iversen. | |||

The most common 7 mm calibers here are 7x57 (Mauser) and 7x64 (Brenneke). Never seen or hear of 7mm - 08 Rem. here. Jiri | |||
