Thread: Are we seeing a shift to smaller calibres and lighter bullets?

I have and I have not.

My 22-250ai... essentially a 22 Creedmoor... absolutely slaps. Drops deer like anything else with 88gr ELD's or copper monos. But at 6.4kg, it only really gets used on private land where there's a quadbike to carry it for me.

And I've also gone smaller in cartridge and heavier in bullet for night time work. Using a 9mm and a 338 ARC... But I usually have my 223ai on standby for when it's too windy to be trying to shoot subs or I just want to get the numbers on the deck from 3-300m.

Then for my last hunt on DOC land I took a 284 with ELD-M's. And I will be taking a 308 out this weekend (not match bullets though).

Variety is the spice of life, or something.
