How is it possible to shoot that far on a ball earth?

Also, I responded to some flat earth questions Meg posted but they aren't showing up on the home page.  Are those hidden from view?

Whatever the shape, it is easy peasey (maybe not so easy since my eyesight problems).
Most XLR shooters use ballistic software and Kestrel weather meters that account even for the twist-rate of the rifling (spin drift) and for Coriolis effect.

The 308 has the advantage of being more plentiful, both in number and type.
I do concur. Much cheaper prices in .308 when buying from a vendor, too, which is why handloading for .270 (especially) and 30-06 is needed for the rifleman who shoots a lot in those respective calibers, unless he's rich.

P.S.
I'm not knocking the .308. It's an excellent cartridge but the .270 and 30-06 are more powerful, faster velocity and flatter shooting, and even more so at longer distances.

Savage 110 or Remington 700

Ruger 10/22 is also a great 22lr
I have a Ruger 10/22 "takedown" model, and it is very nice, good, straightforward rifle, affordable, great shooting.  However, it is a 22LR, with all the limitations you have with 22LR.  

My Beeman 1022 (no slash, that's just the model number, but obviously meant to invoke the Ruger) nitro piston 22 air rifle is no slouch either.  It is actually heavier and larger than the Ruger 10/22, pretty quiet, decent velocity as air rifles go, and as long as I'm discreet, I can actually shoot it out in back of the bungalow (wooded area) without attracting attention to myself.  I just use it for plinking and, once, I had to euthanize an injured bird with it.

What I need now is a "real" gun safe.  I found one for $399 today at Tractor Supply, Winchester 12-gun model, it'd fit in my bedroom closet, but hard to justify spending even that much right now, much going on with probate and budgeting through year-end.
