[QUOTE="scrmblr1982cj8, post: 1083708, member: 69799"] Ok. I'll bite on this. Before I got into reloading, I was not very excited about getting away from standard calibers. I live in a small town in SC. With the place I can hunt, about 375 yards is the farthest shot I would ever take. Around here, you can easily find .308/7.62, .30-06, .300WM, and 7mm. After that, it gets harder to find things. Not all stores carry 7mm-08 or .25-06. It was only last year when Academy Sports came to town that I saw my first box of 6.5 Grendel. What I like about the .308 is (1) I can easily find ammo in town without having to order it online or drive to a different county to get it (2) there is a wealth of information on reloading for the caliber, and (3) I haven't had any issues getting reloading supplies for it. If ammo selection for the 6.5 Grendel was better around here, or if I saw bags of brass at the local reloading store, I'd be more excited about the round. Now that I have started reloading, I could order the brass and bullets, but since my potential shots aren't that far, the .308 works just fine for me for now. If I ever move, that may change, but I'll stick with the .308 for now. I think the 6.5 Grendel has great ballistics, but [/QUOTE]
