[QUOTE="john k, post: 2621593, member: 115128"] I was hunting with my father in the Ocala National Forest in 1961 at the age of six. I was by his side when he whispered to hold my ears. He squeezed his rock hard trigger from his Savage 99E .308 Win and the buck buckled and went down. I reached for the empty cartridge and smelled the burnt powder and have been obsessed with shooting/hunting/loading since. Never chose to shoot a .308 but it definitely is a finalist for the Mount Rushmore of American cartridges. My father re-barrelled, restocked, and hunted with that 99E until he couldn’t hunt anymore at 87 years old. He wanted to be buried with it but it is my sons and will always be in the family. My .308 story [/QUOTE]
