[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 2124533, member: 8907"] MDWS .257 Ocelot is only 100~150FPS slower than 25x6.8SPC options. The .223 BCG is more plentiful and cheaper. 300 Black Out magazines are easier to find and cheaper too. Then you have the issue of brass which to me is basically free from my other rifles versus purchasing 6.8SPC cases. Also, there is no concern with leaving cheap easy to find brass in the field unlike a lot of the other options with more expensive brass that needs more labor to form. The 30HRT and various .22, .25, etc. 6.8SPC options are attractive but, at a higher cost. For me, the extra velocity is not worth the extra expense because of what I am shooting at and the distances those targets are at. I have seen a lot of deer and feral hog pictures that tell me the .257 Ocelot will do exactly what I need it to. And, yes the 25DTI will do the same and will do it at a farther distance but, at the ranges I need to use it offers no advantage to me. [/QUOTE]
