I have explored all main locations in capital wasteland. And there are not even one merchant selling .308 ammo, not even one! It makes .308 so scarce, and im playing VH difficulty. So i travel to Mojave, its still the same, not even one merchant selling .308 ammo.
Is this intended or a bug?
ok. i found gun runners selling .308 in Mojave, so i guess its intended?
No it's not intended, and it's probably not even a TTW thing. Check your mods in FNVEdit for Levelled List edits.
My project Dash is on Kickstarter!
I found Flak and Shrapnel selling 4 .308 ammo just now. So they do sell it in the capital wasteland, but really low quantities I guess 
.
Yep, I've got Rise to test the ammo, they are selling really really low quantities of everything for me too.
i didn't use any mod except TTW, i downloaded fallout 3 and NV from steam and installed TTW right away
now i don't know which part gone wrong. but since i got .308 in Mojave its ok
I have found in base TTW in the capital wasteland .308 is "somewhat" rare, sure you have hunting rifles and sniper rifle enemies but those guns rather outnumber the 5-8 rounds of ammo the particular foe will be carrying with it. Many vendors in the capital wasteland don't offer "bulk" amounts of .308 either, usually between 6-10 rounds, it should be noted that .308 seems to be a later game ammo for the FO3 portion of TTW. My best suggestion is for those wanting to use a Hunting Rifle/Sniper Rifle is make good use of a ammo bench and the hand loader perk, and convert all normal .308 you get into .308 JSP hand load, and break down other ammo you might not use as much, to me all .22 rounds get crunched automatically. Gribbleshnibit8 had made a really good mod I used with my TTW games, called "Vending Machines of the Wastes" http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/60402/?
It adds a vending machine to several places in both the Mojave and the Capital wasteland that would allow you to make ammo purchaces in bulk, however at the added cost of greatly increased caps per item. With hand loader and reusing the .308 brass that will be recycled back into additional JSP rounds, I found that my overall ammo needs where met.
I always thought that the scarcity of .308 ammo in capital wasteland shops/caravans was actually quite lore friendly - there is lots of demand, while the supply is being kept low by the ongoing supermutant problem in the area. (The .308 round is a decent enough caliber to use against supermutants.) IME solution to the problem is to collect any of the more common ammo types, and then use the Pitt Ammo Press to produce some .308 JSP goodness (using the other unwanted/more common ammo types as raw materials)..
After completing the Pitt DLC questline in TTW, I tend to never get low on my favorite ammo types again, (except maybe .50 HMG which I occasionally like to spray around just for fun).

My problem is that this was not the case in vanilla FO3. I like to play a stealth sniper and that doesn't work out very well without a sniper rifle. l guess I will probably revert to vanilla for now

Playing in a scarce and resources drained wasteland (FWE/PN option, assuming it is much worse than vanilla where everything is thrown at you by the dozens), and .308 ammo is an issue specially at early game, work around that by trading with the Outcasts (who can produce an infinite stock) or learn how to make the ammo yourself, which is kinda something every dedicated sniper gotta aim to do: produce their own rounds, more so in a wasteland setting :)
