Will these new .308's chamber in a regular .308 win.?

Nope. NEw case, designed not to do so. My guess is, since Hornady collaberated on the design (and maybe lead it), it will be the same diameter case as the new .375 Ruger.

Great idea Just read about it. I think they will have a winner here.

The round reminds me of the old .307 Winchester. Now that the LeveRevolution bullets are here (and man, do THEY work!), there's hope for lever-lovers.

I think it sounds like they created a 300 savage.Ballistics are similar and it even looks the same.Why not stick with a proven winner?
