[QUOTE="Paper boy, post: 1737706, member: 110735"] It's getting to seam like rifles are becomming mor like golf clubs, a diferent club for every type of shot! It's also getting to be a little crazy. Many shooters dont realise this but, many of us, for whatever reason, shoot one caliber better than another, just because we either just like them, believe in them, or maybe just have had good luck with them in the past. it' more Mental than numerical in more ways than the average shooter would care to admit.. On the other hand, if your one of the fortuate few who can afford to stuff the golf bag full of wonderful rifles and calibers, DO IT! TODAY more than ever, there are more rifle cand caliber selections than ever. I have stated this before on these pages. I am not a hunter. i am absolutly stupid when it come to the caliber/game selection. i figure, big game, big bullet.. in the competitive shooting world paper all have the same skin thickness. The choise is what caliber, what load and what bullet will get you there and take a seat as close to the last one sent as possible. I will admit I have used this mental formular in a much more sinister roll in the past, but object of all this is very much the same. Today, the 6.5mm and 6mm bullets seem be approaching market dominance, and for good reasons. In Europe, they have come to reason a long time ago that "more is not always better". This is evident by 6.5x55 swiss, 6.5x47 and a few others. The 6.5x55 swiss has suprised me mor than once. Several years ago I was shooting, almost exclusivley 308. Why, because everyone else was, mostly anyway. It was no accident that I began to research the forigen governments and gun manfactures and the calibers they chose. I have had amazing results with this research. One world championship, and now, (getting older of course) several local competitive matches. Todat I am exp,oring the 6.5 Cr.
