Right, apologies first as this topic has probably been done to death but....
just passed my DSC1 and about to apply for my FAC. Expect to be mainly shooting Roe but would also look for an opportunity at Reds or Sika at some point and don't really want more than one rifle.
So, "think" I have narrow this down to .270, .308 or 6.5X55
Am a wee bit nervous about the 6.5 x 55 about ammo supply.
have used a .223 (but not big enough for the flexibility I want) and .308 but neither of the other two calibers.
probably looking at a s/h rifle so that I can afford better optics
some basic pro's and cons of the 3 calibers would be appreciated.
