.308 Winchester vs. 6.5 Creedmoor – Why the hype is over In recent years, the 6.5 Creedmoor was hailed as the ultimate all-around caliber – precise, with low recoil and a flat trajectory. Many saw it as the successor to the legendary .308 Winchester. But after the initial hype, disillusionment has set in: In practice, the .308 Win remains the more robust, versatile, and reliable caliber. 1.

Those who want to hunt successfully and ethically should spend less time debating which rifle is the best and more time understanding nature and their own hunting style. Know

The .22 LR caliber has been one of the most popular and widely used cartridges for over 100 years. It is typically associated with distances of 25 to 100 meters – whether for training, target practice, or competitive shooting. However, in recent years an exciting trend has emerged: extra-long-range (ELR) shooting with .22 LR, often well beyond 300 meters. What sounds absurd at first glance – a “small caliber” rifle at 400, 500, 600 or even 1000 m – turns out in practice to be
