Availability mostly. That was a good price for a rifle in this market so I figured I should jump on it.Yeah, why go .243 or 6.5 if you don't want to or aren't interested in loading the .30US down?

I suppose it couldn’t hurt to load a few rounds up and find out.I have a mosin that slugs .311, a 7.62x39 at .310, an arisaka at .312 and a krag that is .312 in the middle and like .309 at the ends and all of them shoot .308 bullets just as well or better. Not saying that is always the case, but my 4 rifles are all unbothered.

Me thinks that a bullet that is undersized, but long for caliber will shoot a little better in an undersized bore. Perhaps a 200 grain .308" bullet would shoot very well in a .303" bore, or better than a 123-125-130 grain bullet. ? Just guessing. I think I heard that somewhere. Makes sense anyhow.
TrueLeast your Walmart carries guns lol
Good point. But the man that leaves once fired nickel plated '06 brass on the ground would have probably left the clips. !!
