#1 Timely note.
Ordered some 300 win mag.
Received same quantity 308.

Outsourced warehouse and shipping process was flawed.

Skidmark ref: 300 Win Mag Try shooting it here at Ft. Gordon... My brother use to shoot 300wm here at Ft. Gordon 1000 Yard / 1500 Meter rifle ranges.

That was until the Base Commander hired some panty weight that was run off at Ft. Steward to manage the Ft. Gordon Citizen Marksmanship Ranges.

The A-Hole immediately went "Environmental", and banned anything over 7.62/63 (30/06) and 7.62×51 (.308). The LDX shooters tried to explained the stupidity of the limit after the range being used closed to 100 years. But were told NO by Ft. Gordon Command.

So they'd just contacted ALL Firearms related events organizers and moved them to other locations. The cancellations were a major PR $$$$ Ding and resulted in lots of egg on the faces for the Brass.

#3 Fort Gordon left me unimpressed. I was at Camp Crocket there, very primitive. This was in the winter of 1967 iirc. Yukon stoves, Quonset huts, only cold showers. The stoves left us covered in soot, but we didn't freeze.
