No. It may chamber, but the .308 has a wider neck diameter, shoulder diameter, and a longer case length.

The two are identical .30 calibre bullets. A 30 calibre bullet is .308 technically. The .300 Savage could just as well be called the .308 Savage.

Yes it will chamber and fire but you should not do that. Due to the different dimensions of the case it may rupture and expose you to high pressure gas. It's certainly not recommended.
