Message: <blockquote data-quote="sharkbait" data-source="post: 911215" data-attributes="member: 3999">The .22-250 has laser beam like trajectory (took my first deer with one) but is more susceptible to wind drift than most of the new 7mm bullets. The 7mm-08 has some really high BC bullets on the market right now and is a more versatile round than the .22-250 and in a pinch with a resizing die you can neck down .308 brass so component availability is better. Even with good shot placement I would not recommend using a .22-250 for larger game like elk (I'm sure you can find someone on the interweb that has done it) but there are many hunters that have used the 7mm-08 to take elk. I guess you just need to decide what use you want it for (paper punching or hunting or both)  and do your homework on the strengths and weaknesses of both and decide which works best for what you want to do. And as always solicit the advice of internet experts/long range ninjas like me.
