I never cared much about the.308. I’ve been loading it for my brother since the mid 70’s, but never had one of my own until 10 or 12 years ago. A guy waved a nice 1B at me for a good price so I bought it, even though it was a.308. It was easy to make shoot well. It has killed deer for me with boring efficiency.
Some time back, I got one of Remington’s “Extreme Conditions Rifles “ in their “Compact Tactical Rifle “ version. It’s a 9 twist .223 and very accurate with the same 65 grain SGK load I use in my AR’s. More than a couple of times I’ve wished I’d also gotten one in .308 which was the other caliber they were offered in.
