[QUOTE="Doom2, post: 2990563, member: 108323"] I can't even remotely imagine a 308 as a home defense weapon. Even a 223/556 for in home or close range defense is ridiculous. It is usable for predator but is really overkill in most applications. I look at it this way, <20yd pistol, < 50 yds- shotgun, <300 yds 223, >300 yds just about any cartridge with a powder capacity of 40 grains or higher, personal pref is 308 Win. You have to remember that it is possible/likely your target may not stop the round. Also ammunition selection is critical to the application. [/QUOTE]
