[QUOTE="BamaMike63, post: 2245499, member: 116519"] My take on calibers was set decades ago. I have rifles from .22 Short to 50BMG. I dropped .243, .270, etc. I wanted military cartridges. I have of course 7.63x39. That being said, we hunt with .308 Win. Kills out to 400+, however it isn't very far to many of you. However in Alabama with terrain considerations it is. Snipers Hide had an article addressing the introduction of the .308 Win. into 1,000 yard competition. The bullseye was reduced 50% because of the greater accuracy of the round compared to the .30-06. As an example, the 6.5 Creedmore doesn't outperform the .308 until you pass 700 yards. All that being said, it's like your defensive handgun shoot what have are comfortable with most of you hit your target with. The bullet that misses does no good at all. IMO new cartridges give better specifications than the tried and cartridges although in real the world not much change in results. It all depends on what you are comfortable with shooting, ammo and whether or not you to spend more money. [/QUOTE]
