[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1629522, member: 97414"] I realize that the 308 and 30/06 are pretty evenly matched for ballistics,,, of course the 06 can be loaded hotter,,, that's the only reason I'm not choosing it as my shooter... Its to crisp and hard to handle when it's souped up,,, I realized this a few weeks ago... A charged up Ought-6,,, it's is to much for me now days,,, I like the idea of the power thing,,, but its simply a waist of space knowing that I'll never use it... Ha... If I need a hot load,,, I can get a jug of RL to remind me of what un-wanted recoil is like... The 308 has a bit less recoil to it that I like,,, something I can play with all day at the range,,, just enough to continue hunting,,, and general plinking with the younger kids using the pet loads... LOL.. This reminds me when I was in my 20 ish'es,,, a fellow thought I was crazy buying a 300 Weatherby when he was shooting a old school 308... Later on we became good friends over the years,,, He's now in his 80's +++,,, I'm starting to think that I'm now in his age bracket when he mentioned this,,, all most 30 ish years ago I'm thinking... My friend kept plugging away wish his 308's over the years,,, he shot in 7 world TR Full Bore Matches all around the world footing his own bill with no sponsors... He was able to place in the 200 out of 1700 in Australia,,, then he ended up with his name on the Queen's Plate 2 X's over the years... Good shooter for sure,,, very disciplined in how he approached things... Its humbling listening to him tell stories of the old days,,, hunting,,, shooting competions,,, and all the other shooting sports... He took up F Class towards the end,,, but he liked hunting critters & predator control much more... He doesn't get out much now,,, age has caught up to him,,, visiting,,, relaxing is his thing now days... The Old Guard is changing hands I guess,,, he knows this too,,, He's accomplished more in the shooting sports then I'll ever grasp in my life time... Good on him for finding what worked,,, kinda like what I'm doing as well... Just enough to get by I'd say,,, good times happen to those that live this life style,,, its not easy at times,,, but keeping the noise to the grind stone will add to the adventures I'm hopping... If not,,, at least I can't say I didn't try... Ha [/QUOTE]
