[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 145657, member: 7"] [b]Re: Why do snipers use .308 with so many other options??? What is best[/b] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] What I cannot comprehend, is why say, the best shooters in the world, with UNLIMITED resources (military) choose the calibres they choose. [/ QUOTE ] ...well, I would firstly say that resources are not unlimited; [/ QUOTE ] Well said... the resources ARE limited - it often takes 7 to 9 months to get a M40 or M24 repaired, and even the slightest repair (adjust a trigger) must be done by an armorer, not a shooter in the field that could do it in 20 minutes. Hobby shooters poor over gun catalogs and ballistic charts, and dream of a NEW rifle next year... the military does not play that fantasy game. If they have a billion rounds of '06 in inventory, they don't switch to a new round that will give them an increase of 5% to 8% in range. . [/QUOTE]
