Thread: Interesting view on the 308 v new calibres

I have a very accurate 6.5 Creedmoor. However, when after the big boys around these parts I prefer to use the .308. I'm not saying that the 6.5 CM won't kill them because it will with the right placement but the .308 gives me an advantage in being able to use 180gr bullets in pretty thick bush in a reasonably short rifle. A bullet that will smash the shoulder on a massive stag. I'm talking potential trophy heads of a lifetime that are possible in my local area and not stuffing it up with an adrenalin filled shot with a 140gr 6.5mm bullet.
