I love sharing information I’ve found. I have to own up front that part of my preference for the 308 is not rational. I just like it. It’s been around for a good while with wide adoption so you can get good loaded ammo and good components. There are also lots of ammo options. I like the weight and size of the 30 cal bullets. It is not punishing to shoot and pretty economical compared to bigger cartridges, though that only matters if you shoot it. 308 doesn’t burn out barrels like 6.5 Creed or really most other cartridges. And it will handle any game in North America. There are some thoughts for you. 😉
