I have heard this and read it various places. No doubt it is correct.Yes, really, and you’re just nitpicking. The 300 Savage is the parent case of what is commercially known as the 308 win.
But I always revert to the actual dimensions of the case. The .308 Winchester or 7.62x51mm NATO or T-65 is externally a .30-06 Springfield about a half an inch shorter and internally has a bigger, stronger web.
