[QUOTE="Magnumpeanut, post: 294524, member: 14509"] Did the 308 stop killing people in the last 75 years? A long action cartridge will always have its disadvantages due to longer action cycling times and you simply cant carry as many bullets around. In the field you can hold more 308 in your pockets with smaller magazines than you can 300 WM or 338LM. 308 has predictable and dependable ballistics and enough stopping power for any human sized target. Now the 223 and 9mm on the other hand, those may need an upgrade with the modern day wars we are fighting. Not near enough stopping power. [/QUOTE]
