So... looking for some advice. I'm not a gun nerd at all but still enjoy rifle hunting and I have been looking for a different cartridge to bridge the gap between a .243 that i've taken many whitetail with and a .300 WM that I rarely shoot. Been considering the 6.5 PRC or .270 WSM. My question is would it be worth waiting to see what this 6.8 Western turns into or keep it between the 6.5 & .270? Ultimate goal being to extend my range out to 500-600yds on game as large as mule deer to as small as antelope for this average joe rifle hunter. Maybe there's another cartridge that I should look at seriously? I've also never shot a rifle in either the 6.5 PRC or .270 WSM and want to factor in recoil into the equation but not make it the ultimate reason for the selection. (I have shot my dad's .270 win.) Ultimately want the overall performance down range (and within 100yds..) on game to be what makes the decision. For what it's worth, rifle will also have the ability to have a suppressor on the end.
Thanks for any advice
