both 308's that worked well and shot OK with 150's. But with warm 180's they'd both fail to extract occasionally. That last one was slated to go to AK in '08 and got left behind because it wasn't trustworthy. I worked on a 308 99C for a friend, that one didn't want to feed any factory load.
I love 99's and I think they're great in their flagship calibers, but I am pretty much over them as serious, hard-use rifles. And I really wanted one in 358 or 375 Win,
