My first experience with the ".308" was in the form referred to as the 7.62x51 NATO. Did not care for it in the M14, but found it quite functional when belt fed thru miniguns or M60s. Have no idea how much I burned up, but know there were some days when 10K rounds were sprinkled here and there around I Corps. My sentiments toward the round are the same as those on the 5.56. Don't care if i ever shoot another round of either. Never shot a round of .270 or lusted for one.
Use whatever works and have a good hunt or three this fall.
