I've used one 308 or another as my primary rifle since my father gave me a Rem. 600 in 308 in 1964. Ive taken a few deer, elk, moose, and hogs with a 308 since, as have my two sons. Currently, my 308's are a Win 70 FWT Stainless and a pre-64 Win 88.
There's no magic in it. It's just very practical: accurate, user-friendly, versatile,and lethal. My favorite bullets are the 150 NBT, 165 Hornady SPBT, and the 180 NPT, backed by Varget or 4064. If I had to use just one load, it would be the Hornady/Varget combo.
As an aside, Brad used to have a clever little saying about the 308 that he used as a signature line on his posts. Anyone remember what it was?
