Elkampmaster, I agree with your post. But, the 308 was not what I was suggesting to hunt everything with, it was just my personal experience between the 308 and the 300. I wasn't suggesting one or the other. My post was intended, like driftriders, was why shoot the "biggest and baddest" when its not nessessary. I'm not saying go "undergunned", but "overkill" only hurts your shoulder and your wallet. This post is not to offend you or anyone else, its just my .02.
