All the more reason to use them as target practice then Well someone likes them, no need to be wasteful.

I only shoot Deathclaws and Feral Ghouls... I went to the range this morning and sighted in my new iron sights on my Daniel. I did pretty good once I got the sights in. I gave the vortex optic some tweaking too. It was shooting a little low at first, But I got it fixed.Now my shoulder aches. That .308 bucks a lot more than the .556.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Jul 30 2018, 01:44 AM) The .308 is not far from a .30-06 (but with a flatter trajectory) so I reckon it packs almost the same punch. Especially compared to .556 Tidbit: Even though .223 is basically .556 we can only use .223 in civilian guns over here. .556 is reserved for the military. .308 is a good deal smaller than .30-06

And it's a glorified .22 caliber round.

QUOTE(SubRosa @ Jul 30 2018, 01:26 PM) The .308 has a shorter case than the 30-06, because propellants have improved, so they can push a round at the same velocity with less gunpowder. The bullets themselves are in the same range of grain. There is an article about it here.Hmm, interesting, it’s a shorter round but it performs a bit better than a .30-06 in terms of accuracy while retaining a similar bullet velocity. Khajiit did not know this and stands corrected! This post has been edited by TheCheshireKhajiit: Jul 30 2018, 08:41 PM

It's kinda like taking a driver's license I would say. Takes time and money, as everything else does. But I am glad to have done it now. BP guns only takes money so there's an option for you

From what I've read it come in two calibers. The .455 Webley (6 shot). and the .38 ACP (8 Shot). It predates the invention of the automatic pistols and I'm not sure if the rounds are still made for this weapon.
