The .308 isn't underrated, gunnies just get bored easily and keep trying to improve on perfection

. I mean, how boring would this site be if .308 was the answer to all hunting-size caliber questions for the last ten years? So we invent new rounds "different" enough to have numerically different performance, trumpet their superiority, and convince folks to buy in. Only for the next, best, enhanced round to take over.

Personally, I believe the forgotten 7.5Swiss is an underrated round
