IMO that is not how you compare calibers. It is however how you compare cartridges. And to blankly say that .284 has better SD and BC over the .308. I am not buying that. Keep in mind these factors are affected by velocity, and bullet construction. A target bullet with a high BC does not necessarily make a good hunting bullet!! I took into account two different distances. IMO these distances represent 99% of all shots taken. Are you saying that improved SD and BC are that important over my ranges? How many inches of drop, or actual "killing power" could these differences affect? How many hunters can evenkill an animal at 300 to 400 yards? The next time you see a group of guys shooting, put a bucket at 400 yards, and let me know how many guys hit the bucket. You will be surprised. I am not aiming at you, youprobably are a shooter who can hit the bucket,but you will be surprised at how manywill miss. Tom.


Remember I based this off of personal experience. And not off a bunch of charts. ChartsIMO are something to go by,but are far from the last word. Tom.
