The .308 Winchester caliber is considered a short action cartridge. It has a case length of 2.015 inches, which allows for a shorter overall rifle design compared to long action cartridges, such as the .30-06 Springfield. This makes .308 rifles generally lighter and easier to handle, while still providing effective performance for various shooting applications.
