>prior to 2020, you were able to get .30-06 for 60c/round with shipping and hunting calibers that no one would shoot a lot of like .270 for .70c/round with shipping

>now .308 will set you back 70c/round

Are battle rifles dead?

>.308

>70c/round

dunno how it is in the US but non-hunting .308 rounds cost at the very least 2 euros a piece

THEY SURE AS FUCK AREN'T

I DON'T WANT NO TEENAGE QUEEN

I JUST WANT MY M14



NOW QUIT BEIN' A POORFAG AND START STOCKPILING!!

>>57997757 (OP)

off topic but is there any advantage to BRs outside of rule of cool? Any shootout you will be in will never surpass 200m, the range in which 5.56 excels

Bigger boolet make more pew and makes 5.56 look teeny tiny. Stop being a limp-wristed faggot and go lift until you can sling the fuck out of your full-size battle rifle.

Stop buying ammo to "plink" you fucking children.

>Are battle rifles dead?

No, as you'll see from brg. I use my BR for longer range, more deliberate fire, not plinking. For just fucking around I use 9mm or 22lr. 5.56 is 42cpr, so it's not like it's actually CHEAP to blaze away with either, sure it's cheapER than 308 but to me it's the awkward middle, more than I'd want to just run through the woods dumping with, but less fun to really test my deliberate longer range shooting with too.



If you like your AR that's fine, it's popular for a reason, but I'm happy with a 22, 9mm, 308semi+bolt, and an old levergat.

It's not like 5.56 somehow performs better at &lt;200m anon. It's lighter so that's a consideration for the military, but in your own house or from your car who cares. And odds of any of us ever being in a "shootout" at all are near zero anyway.

Pretty much this. At today's prices, rifle calibers are for shooting at rifle distances rather than short range high round count blasting. It's part of why more and more posters here have been saying that the CQB crap people do with a rifle is a meme.

So it's time to buy a PCC?

Fuck you. I'm gonna go shooting innawoods and you ain't stopping me.

If you still want to do CQB rifle stuff then yeah. Consider that the cheapest 9mm currently starts at 22cpr including shipping, and the CQB craze took off and built up to what it was before 2020 when .223 and 7.62x39mm were starting at 20cpr including shipping.

Are you correlating the rising cost of "larger" caliber ammo to the "death" of battle rifles? If you are I'm truly concerned you don't know how fucked the cost of living vs wage stagnation situation is.
