What a bizarre thread.

Some of this reminds me of the old Gary Larson cartoon of the "People who Hate Dances With Wolves Party". An enormous ballroom with three people standing in it holding drinks.

God knows I find the .308 utterly unappealing, but I am not going to pretend it won't kill a deer, or that its not one of the top five hunting cartridges worldwide...

(Ten dollars says I can sell a used .270 quicker than a 7x64...)
