[QUOTE="Wild Bill G, post: 1362626, member: 96281"] No my friend has no idea in any of what any body here has said. To him a hunting rifle is a hunting rifle. He needed me to explain to him that a 30-06 and a 308 used the same bullets. The cocept of a 280 Rem using the same bullet as a 7mm Rem Mag would blow his mind same as the 6.5x55 and 264 Win Mag using the same bullets. He knows what he has and could buy ammo fr them but would buy 5 different bullet weight and design of bullet and expect them all to shoot to the same point of impact. In fact he did this he came out one time to sight in his 30-06 and he brought Winchster white box 180gr round nose bullets. We got the gun sighted in and it shot those bullets very well. He did not believe in reloading because of stories he had heard. So I sent him off and told him he should buy several more boxes of that ammo to always have some on hand and his current box was almost empty. The last day of hunting season with an hour and a half of shooting light left he shows up and says lets go get me a deer. Ok I get in the truck and on the seat is a box of top grade Winchester 165gr boat tail ammo. There is no time to resight his gun and he says well thy should shoot the same they are 30-06. This guy has horse shoes where horse shoes should not be because he did get his deer. A doe came out at I am guessing 250yds and I said well aim just on top of her shoulder.
