[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 87852, member: 1007"] I think maybe you missunderstood me when I said to stay away from the calculators. I didnt meen dont use them for rifles and loads youre familiar with. Calculators have a valuable place in LR shooting. I meant you cant always compare cartridges with a calculator unless you have had first hand experiance with those 2 calibers. Such as comparing the 6mmBR to the 308 Win. For example, I spent more time than I care to admit looking at ballistics on paper, or on a calculator, ect...and I always said to myself the 308 is the LAST round I would ever use for a long range rifle. I had to have a 300 wby or 30-378 based on ballistics on paper...until I owned a 30-378 wby and a 300 win mag and then tried the 308. Will always own a 308. Never again a 30-378! Both the 6mmBR and the 308 have good qualities and both would most likely fit your needs. Just try not to look to hard at "ballistics on paper". You may like the performance of the 308, but might hate the recoil, the list of comparisons could go on for a while. [/QUOTE]
