I received my copy of The Fouling Shot today and in it is an article with the above title by Tom Gray. Essentially his point is that the .308 Win. case is over volume for cast and the .30-.30 is much better for several reasons. He also made the point that Savage rifles are very good from the factory. It got me thinking that a Savage in .308 with another barrel in a cartridge that is better suited for cast bullets would be an ideal situation. I have been thinking about a Savage .308 anyway. The attachment method that Savage uses should make a switch barrel rifle fairly easy to accomplish. Does anyone have a recommendation for a cartridge, factory or wildcat, that could use the .308 bolt face without modification so that the only change would be to fit another barrel? If a wildcat is best suited, it should be easily formed from available factory brass. Any criticism of this idea is also welcome.
