The shooter is going to learn more from shooting 7,000 round in practice than he is from shooting 700
The reason so many hunters miss in the field shooting magnums is the lack of practice downrange for the sake of ones shoulder.
13 years ago when I graduated from my 300 win mag to a 270 the first thing I noticed was I started shooting "a lot" more.
The difference in recoil of a 270 with a 130 vs the 300 win mag with a 180 or 200 is astounding.
Threading needles in a 20 mph wind at 300 with my 300 win mag that I "never" practiced with much....not so much!
Threading needles with the 270 that is on its 3rd barrel? Easy peasy!
This thread is a typical case of believing the equipment gets it done and not practice.
I'd recommend the hunter practice a lot more. If the 308 is uncomfortable to shoot a lot "and they can be" then step "UP" to a 6.5 creedmoor not "DOWN" to a 300 win mag!
