[QUOTE="Lou270, post: 3048829, member: 5352"] I vote 6.8W but I have always liked 27cal. While the 7prc may be more popular I don’t think it is going anywhere. The 6.8W has a bit less recoil for a bit less performance though still very impressive ballistics. Personally, I do not think either cartridge will be “supreme” long term as there is just not a huge market for magnum rounds unless they have some tacticoolness to them like the 300 Win Mag. I like your idea of buy both as that is my own philosophy:). The downside of 6.8W right now is brass. Win is only source and according to them demand is so high for loaded ammo they are not having any left over for any cartridge. Good news is ADG is planning on 6.8W this year. Lou [/QUOTE]
