1. I was addressing the previous poster who said u can cut through FN Chrome lining, as if they have some magic wizardry over there the rest of the world has yet to discover.
2. I did not say the .308 is not a hunting friendly Caliber, I said there are more hunter friendly calibers. So before you have a heart attack, try to tackle reading comprehension.
3. I hunt with .308 most of the time, but it is not even close to an optimal caliber for a variety of game. Slow, heavy recoiling and wind drift if you’re shooting Deer and bellow. It sucks at range and does not have the energy at range. For smaller game, the .243 destroys it and for heavier game .260/6.5CM up to 6.5x55/7Rem/300WM all retains much more energy down range and do it with less wind drift, resulting in more successful hunts. The .308 is a jack of some trades and a master of none. It will do OK, but like I said, there are much better choices if you match your tool to the task. The only thing it has going for it is good bullet selection and availability off the shelf.
4. Still waiting to hear why a flash hider would be needed at all. Do the game where you drive out and plop down shoot back? Do you have some super-secret NV tech that is so sensitive that some flash will destroy it?
