Less recoil makes alot of people shoot without the flinch of bigger rounds
Less weight in the overall package means the arms don't drag the ground at the end of a days hunt.
Less barrel lenght in tight wooded areas are easy to swing to the left or right without hitting the trees.
When i get to hunt deer in rifle country I have two mainstay's I alway seem to take with me. I built a T/C contender carbine in 7-30 waters and I take dad's bolt in 257 roberts. I have shot many deer with the 7-30 waters setup and in the areas i hunt i never felt undergunned. I use the 257 roberts when treeestanding and the TC on walks and heavier cover.
The 7-30 works well in contender pistols also.
Next gun i will by will be a 7-08 most likely in something like a model 7, browning BLR or T/C encore.
