[QUOTE="Rum River, post: 2170309, member: 16869"] A customer came up to the counter and asked about ammunition for his '300'. I waited a moment for the rest of the sentence - there was none. When I asked which 300 he owned the response was a mildly irritated 'I told you - 300'. I won't bother quoting the rest of the conversation - it went downhill in a hurry. He got loud and very annoyed, I'm guessing cuz he was mad at himself for not knowing, plus other customers can hear the whole thing. At the end I asked how far away he lived (5 minutes) and if he could please bring in the rifle - but it was too late for that, he was too upset. I politely declined to sell him any at all. Different customer came in with a custom bolt rifle that was misfiring. Barrel was plainly stamped 308. Took it to the indoor range and chambered a 308 Winchester round with the bolt closing very easily. Thinking there should be maybe a little bit of effort to cam the bolt down, for whatever reason I held it close to my ear and shook it. It rattled. It took a magnifying glass, a bright light and my reading glasses to see the very faint 'NM' stamped after the '308' - turned out it was a 308 Norma Magnum. [/QUOTE]
