[QUOTE="LXnastynotch93, post: 626642, member: 44170"] The problem with non-standard rounds is I fear that if production slows for ammunition, those rounds will be scarce and high in price. That leaves me with a rifle chambered in something too expensive to shoot, or too hard to find. High velocity rounds such as the 7mm-08, .300WSM, and even .300Win tear a barrel up pretty quickly. If I had a larger budget (when I'm not in college), then I would certainly consider a .300WSM as my main choice, or even .338 Lap. Mag. if I could swing it. However, right now I'm trying to get the most bang for the buck, and some of those rounds are much more expensive than .308. [/QUOTE]
