You can get two spools for the 308, one shallow and one deep. Still available widely on eBay, some still in the original plastic wrap.

and to be sure just being able to buy one reel a year was a blessing ,so i mostly always got a 300 ,i did own a 308 for a while though when i got older and could afford to have 2 reels ....
