None of them can do anything better than what you have. Reason they are still around and will be forever.With the new calibers coming onto the market , are my old calibers suddenly obsolete ? My 250 Savage, 22-250. 6.5x55, 270 Win, 25-06 7mm-08, 308, 30=06 will they not do their intended job any more ? Your thoughts please.
Definitely not obsolete. Calibers come and go, but as far as I’m aware, the ones you listed are still made. Even if they aren’t considered mainstream, that just means more ammo for you!With the new calibers coming onto the market , are my old calibers suddenly obsolete ?

The ability of a tool to do an intended job depends on the user.With the new calibers coming onto the market , are my old calibers suddenly obsolete ? My 250 Savage, 22-250. 6.5x55, 270 Win, 25-06 7mm-08, 308, 30=06 will they not do their intended job any more ? Your thoughts please.
Yup. Send them all to me for disposal and start over.
When I was a kid I went deer hunting with my dad who had a .308. Over those years I never saw any of his buddies with a .308. I'd never shot it before and he let me try once though I missed the deer as he caught me falling over from the kick.When I was young, the .30-30 probably took more deer than all the other calibers available (except of course for poachers using .22s). The .30-06 was a wonderful round for nearly everything. I bought a rifle in .308 and everyone asked me if I'd lost my mind.
Oh don't worry we do scathing really well too.Being a newbie here I guess you could say I was testing the water.I must say every reply so far was a great one ! A lot of other forums would have had numerous scathing replies or otherwise impugned my intelligence
I have been shooting firearms for 70 years , hunting for 64 years, reloading since 1969. During this time I have seen a lot of firearm designs and calibers come and go to the delight of the manufactures.
My Wildcats were not mentioned but they also should be considered as well. I have too many according to my beloved wife, but my thoughts are "She is mistaken" The old 22/243 AI still get 4060 fps with a 60 grain Sierra, 6mm AI does about the same with a 70 gr, 25/06 AI is just a 257 Weatherby using less powder,30/06 AI is just a non belted 300 H&H
I guess this rant has gone on long enough so I will add more later.
I hope all the Fathers have a wonderful day !
