Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots 300 Savage or 308?

In an action that has the strength to hold the same pressures and when using 150 and 165 grain bullet the 300 Savage will do everything the 308 will do.. But nothing better.

And 300 Savage brass is hard to get, or must be made from 308s and when you have made some you get nothing more then what you started with. The 300 has no advantage in a bolt action over the 308, unless you just like the 300 better. If that's the case I see no reason to ask the question.

So for me, if those 2 chooses were mine I'd go with the standard 308 in a bolt action because I see nothing at all that can be gained from a 300 in that rifle. I am a 300 savage fan, and I own 2 of them, but in this case I would go with the 308.
