And I call it like I see it. You don't add anyting to CGN other than smart ass comments and constant trolling.

And that is the absolute truth !!!

I love the .308..............BULLET lol.

All the cases currently in circulation should be melted down and formed into .300 WM

Here's a very interesting "old" article on the .308 http://www.6mmbr.com/308win.html

The 308 is awesome without it, my wife's 7-08 would not have been invented.

Too many rifles being sold in .308, or you wouldn't see them filling up the catalogues. There are quite a few 'new' calibers (WSSM, anyone? Half the WSM lineup???) that are already disappearing. It was a standard sniper rifle caliber for a long time for a reason; it, like the .30-06, etc. ,will be here long after we're all dead and dust.

Some people would like a 20mm cannon for deer hunting.

Here are two rifles I got just in the last week... WTF both are 308!

New to me 7600 Police 16.5" pump action rifle...

My second Ruger Scout rifle this one with Nitron Blackening...

deer are herd animals- you need a 105 with flechette or beehive, not puny 20mm

Yep, give it a few years and the .308win will be on the edge of extinction. Last time I was at the range looking in the 5 gallon .308 brass bucket, it was only 3/4 full. Normally its heaping with brass all over the ground around it. That must mean everyone is getting tired of their .308. You all better sell them to me for cheap.

A BC that blows the doors off any sub 200 grain 30 cal pill, shot from a 2.8" OAL magazine at 2980 fps in a 22" pipe. If bullet strength is a concern feel free to substitute a 160 accubond.

308? Pulleeeez...

I'll take the AI version (7WSM)- 3100fps with the same bullet, albeit from a 24" pipe, and brass that doesn't need trimming!

Anybody that says the 7WSM is disappearing should look at the ammo shelves and rifle catalogues. Manufacturers are announcing new rifles chambered in 7WSM for a reason.

Two gun shops, 60 km from each other, and only one in each store for a total of 2!
