Which one is stockpiled by the millions in thousands of warehouses and millions of homes?

Case closed. For me.

Scavangability .308 dominates. The 6.5 Creedmor will make a nice doorstop.

And 6.5 is not stocked at any Wal-Mart or Tractor Supply that I've visited.

I haven't put my 6.5 through the paces yet but I believe that it will remain a "speciality gun" to me.

The 6.5’s are nice rigs.

But there are trillions of .308 laying around.

I like the Creedmore. However, it fills the niche that a .243 does. Not a bad cart, but not my favorite.

I have an emotional attachment to my .308. My first deer killed as an adult was with a .308 handload.

Hah!

The 5.56/.223 is a sucky round ... so we are told. But it is stockpiled everywhere by citizens and by the gummint. Have a 5.56mm rifle.

The 7.62/.308 is a sucky round ... so we are told. But it is stockpiled everywhere by citizens and by the gummint. Have a 7.62mm rifle.

If you want something else, in addition ... knock yourself out.

Yep...me too.
I love the 6.5, but in a real SHTF scenario, you’re gonna want to be able to use ammo that can be scavenged from almost anywhere....that means military calibers that can be used in civilian rifles.

Exactly. Lake City for the win.

Oh, an FWIW, since I follow you on Twitter and FB and I bought(yes, paid for, not on the giveaways) all your books, I wanted to suggest something to you...if you're getting auto-throttled on posts with key words those Silicone Valley lefty fascists don't like...screen shot what you want to say and post the screen shot. They aren't OCR-ing pictures for filtration, yet anyway as far as I can tell.

Yep. It’s a no-brainer.

Agree! JUST got a new M1A and hated adding another caliber to the inventory...but that thing shoots so smoothly!

Plus, I may dabble in reloading .308 too...

Travis, that is the exact first thought that popped into my head. I don’t recall ever seeing the other one.
