308 Win: The Original Winchester Short Magnum
Inside of 250 yds, the 30-06 will do anthing a 7Mag, or 300Win will. And the 308 will too.
Should we consider the 308 Win winchester's first short magnum cartridge? |

Didn't you read the other thread about the .308 being the first short magnum?
In short, the .308 has never been nor will ever be a magnum of any kind. Period, end of discussion, over and out, finished, asta lavista, etc... etc... |
RE: 308 Win: The Original Winchester Short Magnum
I would never even come close to ever thinkin or even considering the 308 even remotely a magnum........... but the 308 at one time was nick named and sometimes still by many called the 30-06 short.

Certainly, this is the case. From such short cartridge to get such outrageous performance is MAGNUM.

RE: 308 Win: The Original Winchester Short Magnum
I love the 308 , because almost as much velocity as 06, less cartridge ;ength for popping in the next round, and a lot less muzzle blast as the 06, just about as much knockdown power, I have both and prefer the 308, especially at my age....

RE: 308 Win: The Original Winchester Short Magnum
Well................... You know how it is.;)
Sorry if I sounded a little brash back there. :) |
RE: 308 Win: The Original Winchester Short Magnum
bb,
Heh, Heh.... Not brash, you're just calling it the way it actually is. Once one hasexperienced some of the bigger iron (like you now have), some of the stuff one hearsfrom the wannabe cartridges is just plain laughable. Proud of ya, son. |
