[QUOTE="magnum, post: 446827, member: 2432"] I realise that this thread has been inactive for a bit, but I don't get here often. I have a .308 NM built on a FN Mauser 98 action. The rifle is a full custom built by a craftsman gunsmith in 1980 who is no longer in the gunsmithing business, he's retired I think. It's an awesome calibre and, although now largely obsolete, well worthy of a place in any serious hunter's gun cabinet. It is what the .300 WM should have been. It better suits the reloader than the .300 WM due to the latter's short neck. The .308 NM needs a few less grains of powder to produce the same velocities and is therefore more efficient.
