John,
I always chuckle at the discussions of ctg A vs ctg B. Reminds me of the King Kong vs Godzilla comparisons.
I suggest deciding on the velocity desired for a specific bullet. For example it is pretty well established that a 7mm 175 tends to shoot accurately at around 2950 fps. So why not select a chambering that will give that level of performance and if it can be done with more readily available powders then so much the better.
I have a buddy who wants to move those 175’s much faster but he is stuck with a minimum of 26” inch barrels and hard to find powders and pretty big cases.
Me, I would get a 7mm PRC.
With rangefinders and dialing that 2950 is perfect.
