[QUOTE="HOT TUNA, post: 1605083, member: 95931"] .308 win no doubt deserves respect. It’s very capable and versatile and has stood the test of time. With that being said it’s old news and to me... boring. With modern advancements in ballistics (knowledge, bullets, cartridges etc...) there are many far better choices in caliber selection. In terms of external ballistics; bullet offerings in 6mm, 6.5mm, and 7mm offer many advantages over .30 cal. The caveat being the big thirties that are capable of pushing 215 plus grain projectiles with very high BCs at useful velocities. As far as cartridge selection... pick your poison with whatever interests you. I usually pick the bullet that will get the job done, set standards for my application (velocity, max effective range, KE etc.) and last pick the cartridge based off my standards. It really is an endless debate of preferences and strong opinions. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
