In this video, I conduct a detailed comparison of the 6.8 Western and 7mm PRC cartridges.

I’ve never seen a cartridge that received as strong of an initial negative reaction when first released as was the case with Winchester and Browning’s 6.8 Western cartridge in 2021. To be fair, that new cartridge hit the market in the midst of a historically bad ammunition shortage and some of the darkest days of the COVID19 pandemic.

Despite the negative reaction some people initially had regarding the 6.8 Western, thousands of hunters scooped up rifles in the new cartridge over the ensuring months and reviews from those who used it on deer, elk, bear, and other big game afield were nearly uniformly positive.

Fast forward to late 2022 and the situation was nearly reversed with another brand new offering from a different company: the 7mm Precision Rifle Cartridge from Hornady.

I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ve never seen a cartridge make as big of a splash as the 7mm PRC did when it was introduced.

It’s only natural that many hunters would compare two of the newest rifle cartridges that have also evoked the strongest emotions for hunters and shooters to each other.

For that reason, I investigate the 6.8 Western vs 7mm PRC debate in detail and provide some insight into which new rifle cartridge is ideally suited for various hunting situations so you can make an informed decision on which one will work best for your individual needs.
