    Can't say enough good things about both. You MAY be able to find a wider range of projectile for the .30-06 than the .308.....MAYBE. Not really sure. Bolt gun, mag fed, or a semi auto in .308 are both excellent calibers for game from yotes all the way up to moose. I may be a big fan of the .270 and like the performance I get with a 130gr Barnes bullet but hey....that because I don't have a .3XXXX fill in the blands yet. Well...I suppose I have a .308Express Marlin so bugger on me...I do have one!

    6.5x55 Swede. LOVE that round, even more so than the .308 or 30-06, of which I have both. Hand loading is about the only option at this point but it's a performer and is time tested for moose and anything in between down to a coyote.

    I just started hand loading after I bought a sporterized 96 Mauser. Have it and a CZ 550 in 6.5 Swede and love the versatility of that round. Have several larger calibers but for my go-to gun for hunting anything in North American except the big bears would be that caliber. Norma or Lapua brass with CCI primers and some H4350 or H4831 pushing a Nosler 130 grain Accubond at 2,900 fps...get the stew pot ready, it's deer down dirt nap time!

    You know........ honestly I really want a 22-250. My old boss had one and I loved shooting it. Remington BDL, I did the trigger on it, bedded and floated too. That thing took everything from coons to axis and audad.

    I'm not sure how it works. I just remember watching it on a legit tv show years ago. Not the rigged crap now days but back when the true stuff was actually on TV. I wouldn't even begin to tell you how it worked because I wouldn't have the slightest idea tbh.

    I also have been toying with the idea of a 22-250 one of my coworkers has one and is always talking about how fun it is to shoot...only problem is finding ammo out here for it can get expensive...

    You guys should try a .204 ruger or 17 rem fireball. Both awesome varmint guns!

    Yeah the .204 and fireball are cool but ammo is a problem........... just like my .17 MachII.
