.308 lot's of ammo for it easy to make up your own loads.


Steven and I are on the same page on this one. If I could have only one center fire rifle it would be .308 Winchester.

Number two and three are .358 Winchester (.308 on steroids) and .45-70 Gov (for the sheer fun of it!).




It seems like I'm good company here. My first rifle handed down from Dad was a Rem 740 in .30-06. I used it for years and it always served me well. I now prefer the .308 in 150 gr. for deer in both my Win Model 70 and my Weatherby Center Fire Pistol. Balistically the 06 and the .308 are nearly the same for all practical purposes. They are both great deer busters, but I prefer the .308 for its shorter cartridge and faster lock times.

Best,
Warren
