For decades I was not a .308 fan. I tried a couple, and not being a heavy recoil lover, didn't care much for it. Both rifles I had, ....a Rem 788 and Savage 99, just kicked the snot out of me for some reason. So I never pursued the cartridge after that...
Fast forward to the past few years, when I found a light, handy AR10 in .308 was pleasant to shoot. So, I started shooting it. And hunting with it. Deer, hogs, whatever I want. I LOVE it.
Accurate. Cheap ammo. Quick followup shot if needed on multiple animals. It has really become my go to rifle for hunting.
I'd say it kills pretty well...
Is it the best rifle cartridge out there? I dunno. But for my needs, I've evolved to the point that I love it!
