I bought my first 308 this past summer and it is my new favorite round. I shot a 175lb 7pt..dropped him in his tracks. My dad took it onemorning and killed a 205lb 9pt...dropped him in his tracks. And my bro inlaw took it one aft and his gf shot her first deer with it. 90lb doe...dropped her in his tracks. All behind the sholder shots. All 60-140yd shots. I've been overly impressed with this round. 150gr Rem Corelokt. Wish I had bought one 10 years ago. I feel like I've been missing out.

I hope its not dead. I just added one to my collection. I blame the members on here for making me get one. I couldnt decide between a 7mm-08 or a 308 so I've added both in the last 3 months. The only complaint I have with the 308 is their are too many bullet\load choices to decide on.


As far as the WSMs being a joke. Well then their are a ton of people out their laughing because they've pretty much outsold everything elsein the last few years. I have a 270WSM and have nothing but good things to say about it.

Not dead but close to life support. The initial popularity was due in large to nearly free brass. It's still an '06 wannabe. Close but no cigar....I own 2 of them by the way my favorite is an early 1959 Bofors Sako L579. I still remember my M14 SN from basic in '65.....17709794. Regards, Rick.

I didn't even hear it was sick!
Not dead by a long shot! A wonderful round that is probably one of the best bets for world wide ammo acquisition.

Man I hope not, the 308 Win. is one of my all-time FAVORITE cartridges.

I love the 308 Win!

It's funny this post came up. I currently own a Remy 308 with a bull barrel butI amin the market for a 308 deer rifle. any sugestions?

I think the 308 Win is still in the top 10 as far as reloading die sales. If not the top 10 then at least the top 20.

I am a remy person by heart but I bought a 308 and a 300wsm Tikka T3 this summer and love them both. I only thought the bolt on my rem's were smooth. My 308 will shoot less than a dime grouping. That's just off rolled up towels. If I had a lead sled or something I think it would shoot even less..especially if I hand loaded. It's by far the most accurate rifle in my safe. Good luck

My first deer rifle was a rem model seven .308, killed more deer than I could count. Recently purchased another Remington Model seven Custom Shop Mannlicher stock model Seven .308. They are amazing rifles. I hunt in PA, seems like those rifles were built for hunting deer in pa. I own many different caliber's, including a few magnums, the 308 gets more woods time than all my other rifles combined. If you like the 308, dont be afraid to get it, its not going anywhere anytime soon.

For hunting, I have the Browning A-Bolt light weight synthetic Stalker. Its light (almost to light) and deadly accurate. As a carry all day rifle, its hard to beat.
