Default RE: Whats with the numbers?

6.5mm=.260 (i think*)
Actually .264" is considered a 6.5mm

For example I understand that a .338 will flat out do the job, but I've come across listing for some cartriges that are much larger than that in the shooters bible. What's the point of anything larger than .308?
There are a TON of guys out there that like thoase big bores! Some just plain like the biggest cal. they can get, some read too many african stories and others believe every "long tale" they read about Alaska. Point is, they then think they need a cannon to kill a moose or a brown bear.

That's all "ok" with me, as that's what makes the world go around. Ijust draw the line when they come here and preach that you HAVE to use a cannon when i already know better.

I just wish hunters would send the message that it's MORE about useing the "right bullet" than what caliber you are shooting!
