[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 326981, member: 1007"] Thanks for the healthy discussion. Personally I find the 308 versus 284 to be more of a conundrum of sorts than anything else. On one hand there are some really good 284 bullets out there with great BC's. To get the good BC's out of the 30's it takes more bullet weight and subsequent recoil. Then there is barrel life and twist. I like a bit more barrel life due to limited $$ and I can get to know my rifle a bit better and use it longer. All rifles suffer from radial torque but its 11 or 12x versus 9 or so. Am I nitpicking? Sure. I wouldnt mind toying around with more 7mm's in the future. For the time being I am a 30 cal man only because of some underlaying factors aside from the exterior side of things. [/QUOTE]
