[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3953678, member: 33119"] This will probably stir the pot some. The 308 Winchester is an antiquated chambering that does everything good but nothing great. It will never be able to fully take advantage of the new bullet designs and is much like the 300 WM and 7mmRM. That’s why we now have the 300 and 7mm PRC’s. They both do what the others couldn’t without taking up valuable case capacity or exceeding mag length. The 6.5CM and 260 Rem ballistically out performs the 308 and to a certain extent 300WM down range. Heck, even the military has seen the writing on the wall. That’s why you now see the 6.8(270) and Norma Mags within the services. [/QUOTE]
