Back in the day, other than using it in a short action automatic receiver, why was the 308(7.62 NATO) even invented? They didn't have the powders that make it a great round. I am a '06 fan, but I do like the '08. Booth are great. I feel the '06 just offers more. Only slightly heavier, longer. This pissing contest is just a Coke is better than Pepsi argument. Nothing Will be solved.
