.308 is the easiest caliber I have been shooting 175 grain Sierra since 1994. Stuck with it and even in the Marine Corps the M118 LR is a 175 grain Sierra BTHP. Now retired and still shooting the .308 May not be the best at one thing but it gets the job done. Never miss….! Once you stick with the same caliber for so long, you learn it like the back of your little man… Essentially it’s the KISS mentality. Even a little toss up with grain, you still don’t miss. You can find ammo everywhere, surplus and all, cheap and gets the job done. Semper USMC / Retired

The .308 will kill ANY animal in North America and will also work for any plains game in Africa. Magnificent round with large killing power when used with an accurate gun. You picked a good one Marine.

This fall, I took a bull elk at 465 yards with my Savage 110 .308 using a Nikon ProStaff 7 scope and Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 175 grain bullets. The shot placement was a slightly back, double-lung shot. The elk turned around, took one stutter step, and dropped. Job done. I have one centerfire hunting rifle, this .308. It's taken pronghorn, deer, and pronghorn at 140 to 465 yards. While the industry would love to see me buy different calibers for different species and scenarios, my experience is that it is all about shot placement and bullet expansion. You need a rifle you shoot a lot in different realistic positions in different realistic conditions to be able to confidentially make adjustments in the field and have confidence in every shot taken. You need high quality bullets and know the foot pounds of force needed to be delivered and thus distance to be within for what you are shooting. I see guns as tools, not toys, and prefer hunting over shopping. The .308 is one of the great all-around calibers for this overall strategy to big game hunting.

I'm a little late to this show! Really appreciate the effort you put into this show and folks understand that barrel twist rate should affect your bullet choices, 1-12 is ideal for 165gr or less, where 1-10 ideal for 165gr and up! I personally like 1-12 twist for hand load where it full power or subsonic loads, easy on the shoulder! Thanks again Nate

That's using a Redfield 3x9 scope, solid bench, and good gun rest. It's never failed to drop a deer every year. Granted, all the shots have been 150 yds. or less. I made a previous comment about your video on the 30-30. I always take one deer with each rifle (Ruger and Marlin). Two a year is all I need for me and my wife.

Another awesome & informative video brother. Loving your channel. I never really was on the 308 train, until covid. My main bolt gun love affairs were with 270 & 30-06. But at the brink of Covid, those 2 calibers vanished along with reloading components. I couldn't help but notice everywhere had 308, well 7.62x51, cheaper than anything else on the shelf. Even cheaper than 9mm. So I traded the 270 for a savage axis II in 308. The 30-06 R700 stayed, she ain't going anywhere 😉
@spaceaddict54842 жыл бұрын
Just got the axis in 308 too. Are you shooting the 7.62 nato's out of it? I noticed it's a lot cheaper than 308 ammo and enough people shoot 7.62 out of 308 but wondering if the axis handles them well

I have shot the 140 grain combined technology bullets, but fine them to be too destructive on white tails within 100 yards. I pulled all of the combined tech bullets and replaced them with the 140 grain Barnes bullet. Much better! I am telling you this to make a suggestion that instead of just calibers, you test different bullets within that caliber. There are some shooters that might find that interesting.

Nice vid WTW. I love my Browning AB3 in 308. I use 168 grain big game rounds. If I see an elk while I'm out in the bush I want that do all round. Anywhere I can hunt elk with a general tag is like a lottery until I can get a network of property owners in the right places. Anywhere where I know I will find elk it's a draw. I'm also in grizzly country. I'd rather have the high powered rounds in case I run in to some bad luck. 🤤 That 168 grain Berger Hybrid dropped my 5x4 Whitetail where it stood so I'm a happy camper!
