The .308 Winchester has a 3.64 mL (56 gr H 2 O) cartridge case capacity. [9] The exterior shape of the case was designed to promote reliable case feeding and extraction in bolt-action rifles and machine guns alike, under extreme conditions. .308 Winchester maximum C.I.P. cartridge dimensions. All dimensions in millimeters (mm) and inches.
Fullbore target rifle (TR) is a precision rifle shooting-sport discipline governed by the International Confederation of Fullbore Rifle Associations (ICFRA). [1] TR uses single-shot rifles, usually chambered in .308 calibre, with circular "bullseye" targets at distances of 300–1000 yards.
For this, following a qualifying shoot, competitors shoot 10 shots at each of 300, 500 and 600 yards, followed by 15 at 900 and 1000 yards for the top 100 scorers after the short ranges. Fullbore target rifle also features in the Commonwealth Games shooting events with both individual and pairs events using the Kings Prize format.
The drop table can be generated empirically using data taken by the shooter at a rifle range; calculated using a ballistic simulator; or is provided by the rifle/cartridge manufacturer. The drop values are measured or calculated assuming the rifle has been zeroed at a specific range. The bullet will have a drop value of zero at the zero range.
Target sizes of the chicken, pig, turkey, and ram targets, scaled to their angular sizes as they would appear if placed at the correct distances from the shooter during the fullbore rifle event with target heights of approximately 4-5 MOA (1.2-1.5 mrad). In the fullbore handgun event target the angular target heights are approximately three to ...
The five example models down to 1,200 m (1,312 yd) all predict supersonic Mach 1.2 + projectile velocities and total drop differences within a 51 cm (20.1 in) bandwidth. In the transonic flight regime at 1,500 m (1,640 yd) the models predict projectile velocities around Mach 1.0 to Mach 1.1 and total drop differences within a much larger 150 cm ...

The .308 Marlin Express is a cartridge developed in 2007 by Marlin Firearms and Hornady. It is based on the .307 Winchester with a goal to duplicate .308 Winchester performance. The cartridge uses a slightly shorter, semi-rimmed case similar to that of the .220 Swift to function in lever-action rifles.
