Debating New 7mm SAUM or 6.8 Western

[Wild Monkey]

7-SAUM was the cats meow. Only I don't see any Rifles on the Shelf or Ammo in stock anywhere. Is the 7mm SAUM Extinct? I don't see the value in building a Rifle on a dead Cartridge. Should I just go with the 6.8 Western? This would be an all around Rifle.

Factory ammo or reloading? If you want factory the Saum isn't for you. If you want to reload the 7saum IS the cats meow and the dogs woof!

Exactly as stated above. If you're reloading this is a no brainer. 7 Saum is awesome. If factory 6.8 western is what you want but options are limited

For me( myself) The biggest factor for the 6.8 western is that for now..... Only Winchester brass is available as far as I know. For a handloader, the 7mm saum will be quite more versatile from the standpoint of available components. There is a mountain of high b.c. 7mm bullets.
