I used to hunt with an oldtimer out of Wasilla who used a 308 with 220 partitions. He said it was the "American version of a 6.5 Swede with 160 grain round noses," and "killed all out of proportion for such a small bullet."

He used a BLR, if I recall right, having "modernized" from an old 45/70 shooting 405 grain Remingtons.
