Hello,
I am thinking about getting a rifle and now that I have (somewhat) narrowed down the platforms I am having to take a close look at the available calibers.
Would anyone be so kind as to run down some differences between the following cartridges as they pertain to cost, recoil, ballistics, etc?
.223
5.56x45
5.45x39
7.62x39
7.62x51
7.62x54
.308
Also, if anyone would like to weigh in on my original thread, that would be greatly appreciated as well.
