[QUOTE="lerch, post: 100023, member: 3115"] I can understand somewhat the reasoning behind the .308 and .223 being continuosly used by military since they have always used it, though you are right there is a whole world of rounds out their with the same or less recoil that flatten the above rounds ballistically. What I dont completely comprehend is the reasoning behind snipers using primarily the .308 round. The 6mm or 6.5 have much better ballistics and though the bullet weight of the .308 is more I would have to guess that the retained energy of at least the 6.5x284 would be more I have no doubt the .308 is a great round, it is the orignal round I started shooting long ago. But there are MUCH better rounds for long range shooting. take it easy steve [/QUOTE]
