308 Winchester Cartridge Web: Guns & Gear|S4
The 308 Winchester cartridge is highly regarded by long-range shooters for its versatility and effectiveness. While it fires a .30 caliber bullet, an experimental Remington Accelerator cartridge attempted to use a .22 caliber bullet within a sabot for increased velocity. However, this variant lacked the accuracy of dedicated varmint rounds and did not gain widespread adoption. The 308 remains a strong choice for hunting, precision shooting, and as a step up in power from the 5.56x45mm NATO.
