Seems both choices would have better ballistics long range vs a 6.8 bullet. I applaud ingenuity, but I would probably consider something similar in 7mm if I were looking for something new. Of course I’m biased as I love .284 bullets. NRA Endowment Member

Of course I’m biased as I love .284 bullets. Probably because the market is saturated with 6.5 and 7. And metric is the new fad. Plus it’s acceptable to be gay now days. All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
