I can understand why the military would use intermediate cartridges so they can carry more ammo for the same weight, but why do civilians also buy guns chambered for rounds which, BY DESIGN, are a compromise? If you want cheap ammo for plinking, you may as well just stick to a 22 LR. If you want a serious gun for serious shooting, get a full-sized rifle.
stop making this stupid fucking thread

Not an argument.

Because I want a compromise between serious shooting and plinking.

your argument has been debunked countless times. You are doing nothing but contributing to the cancer of this board
>>33320617
No, it hasn't. I have never seen a valid argument for why a civilian should use an intermediate cartridge.
>>33322444
Because intermediate cartridges are generally good enough to stop man-sized threats while being cheap enough to practice with often.

Even a child could handle the recoil of a 6.5 mm or even 7mm caliber rifle, and magazine capacity is never an issue unless you miss a lot.
