.307 vs .308

It's designed to work through a Win 94 lever action. Both it and the .356 Win (the rimmed version of the .358 Win) are pretty much obsolete, and rifles in these chamberings aren't exactly blasting off the 'used' racks.
That said, it's a great round. Slightly less case capacity than the .308, but probably not enough to notice the difference at the distances you'd consider using a lever action with iron sights.

the 308 is faster and the 307 is limited to rnd nose bullets. the 307 is a fun cartridge that bets the 30 30 in every way. the win 94 is a light quick handling rifle and with angle eject its easy to scope. brass is still avalable and you can use 308 dies with a 30 30 shell holder. i like mine.

Ditto on that. I load my .307 with flat, soft point 150 grainers and have bagged several caribou with it. Ballistically, it's similar to the .308 with a subtraction of whatever effect the flat noses have. Truth be told; at 100 - 150 yards the caribou don't know!!!!
I never understood why this round did not take off. According to the reading I have done, the .307 has more energy at 100 yards than the 30-30 does coming out of the muzzle.
I was going to buy a 30-30 way back when, but the dealer suggested the
.307 as he had one and had only good to say about it. Ditto on that too.
