An "all around" rifle can be fired 300-400 times over a three-day course by its user, from mostly field positions, but at least a hundred times from prone, slung up.

Most who've attempted this arrive at a compact 308 loaded with 150's, with a stock considerably shorter than what most possess

There may be men who can do this with an 8# fast seven but I'd bet you ain't one of 'em.
