I have always wondered why everyone seems to think the 308 is a superior cartridge to a 300 savage. Does anyone else have both rifles and not really notice a difference? With home loads they chrono about the same. +or- 100fps or so. I actually prefer my 99 in 300 savage to my 308. After the 308 design was patterned (stolen from) the 300 savage. I have killed just about every big game animal in the lower 48 with a 300 with no problem, so I wonder why so many people prefer the 308?
