    Chambered in plenty of rifles. Ammo is easy to find and it is softer shooting than the 308 with similar range.
    That is one problem with the .308. I shot one for years with a hard plastic butt pad and full power loads. Recently I was testing one which I found uncomfortable without a suppressor. Getting old I suppose.
