    The dirty old 308 has made a huge resurgance during the Covid craziness. Lol never seen so many 6.5PRC's, or Creedmores for sale because components werent available. Good to know with the huge variety of 30 cal goodies you can still shoot during a pandemic or supply issues. From an accuracy perspective the 308 is as good as anything else, you just need to add on a little more windage than other cartridges. Watched a mate pop many bunnies & magpies at distances exceeding 1000yds with his FTR rifle with stupid regularity.
    I've gone against the grain having all my centfire fire rifle 30 cal. 300 Blackout for ninja moments, 308 for do everything, 300 Norma for long range wacking. 30 cal's kill exceeding well & with more safety margin when shots get misplaced.
