Edited to add: action would be either mid for 6.5 or long for 7 so don't factor it in...mainly just thinking on the two rounds, not the build.

So thinking hard on them with the considerations of wind drift and barrel life being two of the biggest considerations.....what's your pro/con on each of the two?

Sorry to sidetrack your thread earlier.

FWIW, rumor has it that Peterson will be making brass in Jan/Feb.
