Now that hunting season is over, I might get into a straight walled AR cartridge to hunt in Ohio with, as the prices for parts would be lower. When I look these two calibers up, I get posts from a couple years ago saying that projectile availability and brass availability are poor for both, but the general idea is that they both have similar range limitations and placement is key.
Has anything changed - aside from panic unavailability of projectiles / primers? Does anyone load either of these enough to say which is economically advantageous or in terms of performance? I'm not terribly recoil shy, I have a 458 Socom and strangely the 500 grain projectiles are the gentlest for me (Limbsaver pad helps.... cheating, I know)
If I do a "build", it would probably be with Aero Precision and Ballistic Advantage parts.
