this is why im torn... ive always loved the .308 (first rifle ive ever fired) but the 6.5 creedmoor (not sure about grendel?) has caught my eye since id love to get into longer distance shooting.

Ballisticaly superior to most anything discussed on this board, close to 6.5x284 ballistics without the barrel burning powder. Its being used in 1000yrd high power competitions right now.

Grendel is not in the same class, gimick round to ride the 6.5 family coat tail.
thats kind of what i thought... thanks for confirming
i guess it comes down to... what stops the zombies better?
Cabelas is not a good place to defend against zombies,way to easy for them to get in
im with coop... too easy to get trapped, and remember i am legend, they can use the manikins as traps... there are many open spaces with semi decent elevation changes (holy hill, etc) to conceal and shoot from around there... although a quick stop with a large group to cabelas isnt a bad idea. also that gander mtn isnt too far if you have a car.
I'd say between the two, .223 would be my choice. I was a total .223 lover until I got turned onto the .204 Ruger caliber. Then I bought one, shot it, and I LOVE that caliber now to the point of having 2 of them. Granted the .223 is, and probably always will be, cheaper to come by ammo-wise but the ballistics comparisons between the two give the .204 a slight nod. About 10" less drop at 400 yds.
Either are going to be tack drivers but if you want something a little different, give the .204 a look.
.308 or 30-06 = win
.223 is a plinker
so i am pretty sure i am going .223. not only to save a couple bucks and be able to use that money for optics, but since it is my first gun of this kind, i think it would be smarter to start smaller and work my way up. thanks for all the info guys. will keep you posted as to what i pick up. i am really liking the look of the dmps panther little sass.
if anyone has anything that they want to sell or know of any good gun shows coming, let me know.
I have special .45 LC rounds for that lol
I have a ar-15 223 for sale if you go with the 223.
