Having .308 be everywhere and anywhere.
It makes me want to build an sbr .308 or an 8.6 black semi auto sbr to pair with my current 300 black build

... scavenging for 308? ... 99.999% of NES will be dead.You don't see a major difference on 6.5 accuracy? ... "come on man"
Are you talking about reloads or factory?
You can buy Hornady 143g 6.5cm and it will be accurate in almost all 6.5 rifles. No need to test several types of ammo.
kingdom of apes is coming, c'mon, man.
and it`s a whole lot of .308 out there, if you'll get to those vaults.
it`s just a caliber, i am not doing caliber wars. with that said, not to have a gun in .223 and .308 in states is just not reasonable.
It is not a caliber war. I just don't think it makes much sense to build a rifle in 308 when good 6.5 can be found for about the same price and it shoots awesome. 6.5 is just a good caliber, only rounds that shoot like sh*t is when companies start messing with bullet weights and doing stupid sh*t, because sticking with 143g, what works in almost every rifle, seems to be too much trouble for some.kingdom of apes is coming, c'mon, man.

As far as scavenging ammo from dead people during the apocalypse, if that is your LARPing fantasy, then stick with 308 and 556. It makes sense. Maybe a 50BMG as well, there will be plenty of that of that in those blown up armored vehicles.

my friend with the LAR Grizzly once mentioned a reason for keeping it is because of SHTF situations. He lives in a heavily wooded area where it's range would be useless and he'd have to carry the 35+ lb behemoth to a place he could use it.
I don't see a purpose to .50 BMG outside of shits and giggs.

.308 in there is still very useful on larger hogs and even bears or a moose. all .308 i load are 175gr minimum, 44gr varget - it delivers quite a punch.
heavy bullets matter.
and then pair it with a 8lbs ruger sfar - a win-win combo. lightest 16" 6.5cm ar10 build i have, same 4-16x scope on both is still 1.2lbs heavier than sfar. not a ton but, still, it matters.
plus i would not bother to pick up shot .308 brass from the ground if i had to shoot it.
