If you’re referring to HaYen’s post, of course component availability has something to do with most for the least. It’s hard to get the most out of something when you can’t even find frigging components. In fact, getting the most for the least would also apply to component prices, not just cartridge efficiency. For instance, Lake City 308 or 223 brass can be bought cheap; more bang for your buck compared to a round that only has Lapua brass availability. Funny thing is I’ve never seen an actual difference in the hunting field between guns shooting the two. Maybe a bit more accurate on paper with the Lapua, but not enough difference to matter in real life (i.e. hunting/varmints).
Talking about two separate things again. It doesn't matter if the cartridge is only shot 3 times a year. Most for least has nothing to do with how often it could be shot. I agree and mentioned he made good points as do you about cheap brass. Thing is it's not the original question. Question was is about most for the least. A best choice for hunting rifle would be component avalibility prices recoil fun factor high quality etc.
