[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1264929, member: 12995"] I'm glad someone else agrees with me that the .308 Win is not a 500 yard caliber... People seem to think it is still grandpa's slow weak deer rifle cartridge. And with shiny advertising and number-fluffing, people believe that today's glorious selection of huge magnums (several of which I own) are a necessity for LR shooting, when that it not always the case. I'm also surprised at the people who think a 6.5 Creedmoor is going to be a better hunting cartridge than a .308 Win. Don't get me wrong, I love the .260 Rem/.260 AI, but I don't think it has any advantage beyond 500 yards, other than a slightly flatter trajectory. [/QUOTE]
