[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 927027, member: 51650"] Setting the "Ford vs Chevy" argument for now, for me it comes down to target vs hunting or 308 vs 300 WSM. The 308 is a great target round and will have a very long barrel life but comes up short in long range hunting power as compared to the 300 WSM. The 308 can serve hunting needs very well and has for many people but the 300 WSM is a step above at the cost of barrel life. Since I would prefer a larger case for hunting I would opt for the 308 to have a rifle to shoot the heck out of until funds became available for a 300 RUM or WinMag at least. The practice with the 308 is cheaper than most and will pay big dividends in the end. 308 is large enough for hunting for the time being. My $0.02 KB [/QUOTE]
