Precision rifle instructors and hunters increasingly favor cartridges that send smaller, more aerodynamic bullets at higher speeds because the resulting flatter path leaves more room for mistakes in judging distance. Traditional loads such as the .308 Winchester remain practical for shooters who fire many rounds, thanks to longer barrel service and easy ammunition supply. Faster options including the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6mm Creedmoor and .22 Creedmoor can shorten barrel life through greater throat wear, yet that trade-off often suits hunters who shoot infrequently. Predator hunters in particular benefit when animals appear at unknown ranges and move quickly, since less drop compensation is needed. Rob Orgel, a former Marine infantryman and current tactical instructor, reports that the extra margin of error has proven valuable on coyote hunts.
