more 'cool' and 'macho' than a 243 or 260.....
there's some truth to this in MS. you'll never be questioned about totin a .308, although there will be suggestions to step up to a .300 mag because it "hits harder" (you know, if you want the 120 lb doe to be "DRT"). but if you're caught totin a .223 or .243, youre gonna hear a variation of "bwa, are u some kind of a queer??"
