These two new-fangled cartridges are arguably the best all-purpose hunting rounds introduced in the past 20 years. Which is best, 6.8 Western or 7 PRC? 

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the advantages of each cartridge, including: 

• Best effectiveness on a broad spectrum of non-dangerous game
• Adaptability for different types of terrain and hunting
• Which makes for the best mountain rifle
• Which is most efficient in short barrels for use with a suppressor
• Which has the least recoil for the performance provided
• How available factory rifles and ammo are for each
• How available brass and component bullets are for each

In the end, we draw some conclusions and give real-world scenarios showcasing situations in which each comes out superior. This one was fun, folks... ENJOY!
