    Quickload provides a recoil estimation based on the load you have plugged in at the time and the mass of the rifle. Don’t know how accurate it is but the numbers change in the direction you would...

    If I can only keep one rifle it would be my 308. Common and readily available. Wide range of shootable projectile weights. Can load it down, can load it hot. Most importantly it just knocks...

    Agreed. A 260, Creedmoor, or 6.5 Lapua would be hard to beat if you had to have just one rifle. But the 308 is very efficient for 95% of the hunting that I do, so no need to change

    I specifically kept velocity and projectile weight the same..... definately agree longer barrels are MUCH nicer to shoot.

    grandpamac I'm disappointed that some hussy temptress calibre has swayed you away from the solid reliable "three-oh". I once looked up to you as an icon; but no more! Oh shit that's right; I just...
