[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 2016364, member: 105322"] I never understood all the hair splitting comparisons between calibers. I shoot 223/5.56, 308 Win, 30-06, 300 Winmag. I pretty much have everything covered with those. I shoot 223 and 308 because the are easy to make accurate, components are cheap and available anywhere, and brass is very often free if I care to pick it up. I shoot 30-06 because my dad gave me one. I took it to Namibia and killed about 30 animals with it. Shortest shot was a warthog at 225 yards, and longest was a red hartebeest at 730 yards. It killed everything just fine. Killed a couple elk from 150 yards and 300 yards with it as well. I shoot 300 Winmag for murdering steel at 1500 - 1763 yards. Never hunted with one. Never felt I needed it. I have no emotional attachment to any of them. To me a gun is a tool. I use them the way a carpenter might use a Krylon covered hammer. [/QUOTE]
