[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 967964, member: 12995"] The reason being is the .308 Win is so under-bore that it barely does any damage each time you shoot. It's not a fast cartridge, it uses a small amount of powder, and pushes a big heavy bullet ouf of a large .308 sized case mouth. Therefore the pressures aren't super intense like a magnum caliber or a small-bore with a large case capacity that pushes a bullet REALLY fast. Think of it like this.... .308 Win is like an Acetylene torch....It's got a big flame, but it's not concentrated, so it takes a LONG time of heating up before it can cuts through metal. .300 Rem Ultra Mag is like a plasma cutter....It's got a very small flame, but it's SUPER concentrated, and the gases are so pressurized it blows holes instantly through metal.
