[QUOTE="britz, post: 187286, member: 7865"] Ah what the heck, even though I'm way behind in knowledge and experience, and it seems this has been beat to death, hear's my opinion :) Specs for mil are: 1) fill the gap between 50 and .308 2) light weight 3) battlefield durability and dependability 4) barrel life 5) standard round I think the obvious choise is the 338 Lapua or the 300 win mag because they fit the criteria and they have been used in the past by the military. I love the WSM and other steep shoulder cases, but the truth is that they could pose problems when chambering in adverse conditions. I love the Idea of having a super fast bullet, but the snipers need to be able to fire thousands of rounds on a barrel. Howzat for beating a dead horse :) [/QUOTE]
