The following's the best written history I know of on the origin of the .308 Winchester:

Nowhere does it mention any Savage legal issues with Winchesters commercial version of the 7.62 NATO round nor their smaller prototype test versions. Nor have I ever heard of such a legal challenge by Savage. I'd like to see some written evidence of it happening other than what's in this thread. Or at least a link to it.

Grumbles, what's your information source for that claim about Winchester muscling in to make the .308 Winchester cartridge?
