Very interested in the 6.8 western and what it's capable of ballistic wise. That being said availability of components is a real thing to consider at this point and 270 components should be easy to acquire in comparison. With a fast twist barrel the 270 should be able to push 165 gr bullets with high bc's about as fast as the 6.8.
This would be for a mountain rifle type build, and though I'm interested in lightweight the long vs. short action really doesn't influence my decision. And lastly I'm a handloader so factory offerings in ammo also doesn't influence my opinion.
What would you choose?
