I made the same decision when we did NOT have many options in .323 bullet availability.
Phhtt.. how many bullets do you need? With a 8mm 200 grain NP or the 200/220 Swift A-Frame I am able to kill any animal in NA and most of Africa. How much more choice does one need?
Xactly !
No argument here. We have such a huge variety of bullets that will do the job(across the spectrum of calibers) that we've become a bit spoiled. Not that that is a bad thing?
Agreed! Variety is a good thing !
I have a 9x57 and my bullet choice is two a 200 gr and a 250 gr,both from Hawk bullets. I use the 250 grain bullet.
Xactly again.
The same principle applies to the 277 vs 284, specifically 270 W vs. 280 R.
W/O doubt there are many more weights in 7mm BUT how many different do we actually USE ?
" " " 284 vs 308.
Per the 8mm -- when you have a 200 NP, what more do you need-----not counting cheaper to use in practice.
I'm telling on myself (as if that's needed). Being a JOC fan since 1975...... I don't use or need 250 gr bullets in MY rifles.
I know there are cartridges and BIG game where 240--500 gr bullets give more comfort. I just don't need them.
