[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 275725, member: 1007"] I agree whole heartedly. Everything you just stated is my point. Case design is important. 708, 260, 308, 300 savage, 300 WSM, 7WSM, 7SAUM, 300SAUM, 6.5x284 all have one thing in common. They are short and stocky. They also "seem" like they are much less finicky than long skinny ones. They all shoot great. Just because some "outperform" others doesnt meen the others are junk. Including the 30-06. You didnt "settle" on the 300 savage and I didnt "settle" on the 308 because the 708 outshines them in every way. It doesnt. It may in some ways but not all ways. If you want to beat the 308 using a smaller bullet in the same case is barking up the wrong tree. The 300 SAUM or WSM "outperforms" the 308 in every way.....We chose the calibers we did because they shoot nicely. The guys that chose the 260's and 708's chose them because they also shoot nicely. I hope you know I wasnt saying case capacity alone is responsible for the accuracy potential. I have always maintained that the design is important. I only stated volume in my last post because you say how worthless a 308 is and drops like a 80# anchor but the 300 savage is worthy of your recognition despite dropping even more due to less powder capacity. Is using a system that works "brainwashed'? Hardley. BTW, I would love to get you started on the 260 with 120's versus the 308. Enough about all these fine cartridges, the original question in this thread was why the 308 was more popular on the LR scene than the '06 which is faster than the 308. Not about he 300 savage or 708 etc...... [/QUOTE]
