Why does the 308 even have forward assist?

I tried mine today in preperation for hunting season.  Letting it down easy to reduce noise.....the forward assist does nothing to help.  What am I doing wrong?

The FA should catch the bolt carrier right at the edge, where the BCG necks up from "regular AR-15 sized," to the .308 BCG diameter.  If it's not that far forward, it won't get it.  It's about the equivalent of the "last click" on an AR-15 setup.
