[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 221498, member: 2693"] This is sort of like comparing a 30.06 in a 23" barrel to a .308 in a 24" barrel. They are so close, you just need to pick the one that gives YOU the warm and fuzzy feeling for owning it, i.e., which one gives you the "wow" factor. I went through this decision making process a few years ago with the same 2 calibers. I am lazy. I chose the RUM and have no regrets whatsoever. I personally do not give a hoot about "efficiency," or a few fps more or less, yada yada yada. If we really cared about "efficiency" we'd ditch the trucks and buy Toyota Prius cars, right? I buy rifles in calibers b/c I WANT it and take the good with the bad. If I have to fireform cases, I knew that going into the project. There are pros and cons to both of your choices. Just pick the one you think you have your heart set on, get it built and have a ton of fun with it. You won't be dissappointed either way. [/QUOTE]
