Thread: Interesting view on the 308 v new calibres

These days my main work rifle is a .223 , over 20x rounds gets a bit tedious with a .308 these days. However, I have owned and used .308's for 42 years for hunting and target shooting out to 900 yds. Have taken every game species in NZ with one and have never felt the need for using another caliber. While I have taken game at some fairly long ranges I tend to live by the rule of being a better hunter and stalking closer. No-one makes a perfect shot every time at long range and it's not a nice feeling to lose a wounded animal. Just my 2c worth. Long live the mighty .308.
