[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1146996, member: 90399"] A lot of the old timers like the 30-06 because that's what they used in the war. And it became one of the most popular hunting rounds because that's what those guys knew and felt comfortable with after they got out of the military. A lot of guys my fathers age like the 308 because that's what they used in the war. And it became one of the most popular hunting rounds because that's what those guys knew and felt comfortable with after they got out of the military. Many soldiers over the last few decades like the 223 because that's what they used in the more recent wars. And that is proven by the fact the the AR15 is currently the most popular rifle in America. Manufacturers ramp up production in whatever is popular at that time. So eventually the "military" rounds end up being popular for all of us because there are so many rifles available in those cartridges. (I am a veteran but never carried a firearm for my job role while enlisted). There is a great chance nothing I've stated above is true. It's just the way things seem to play out to me. :) [/QUOTE]
