Hi all,
I'd like some information on choosing the calibre of a rifle. I'm not actually buying either of these I just want to know for my understanding of things.
Nosler make a Custom Competition HPBT bullet in 168gr weight. (Just using this bullet for the example, could be whatever...)
They do the same "168gr HPBT Custom Competition" bullet in .284 and .308 calibres.
As the bullets are the same weight, what would make you pick one calibre over the other?
There is also the same overlap for their Ballistic Tip bullets, i.e.
.277 150gr Ballistic Tip
.284 150gr Ballistic Tip
.308 150gr Ballistic Tip
I know I'm working on this a bit backwards and you'd pick your rifle then the bullet, not the other way around. Like I said, I'm just asking for my understanding of things.
