I like to load 129gr ABLR at 2.285" COL (0.145" JtL) in one rifle and at 2.265" COL (0.156" JtL) in the other Grendel. I've tried a few and now I use CFE 223 almost exclusively for anything over 105gr.
Not having looked deeply into these specific calibers yet, I'll say this. For me it would come down to this:
6 ARC: If I wanted to run an AR15
6 CM: If I wanted to run a SA bolt gun.
Sorry about the multiple posts, it was the easiest way to post it from an excel file where I had this. The prices are based on midsouth, creedmore sports, and amazon from a few years ago.

I've got an F350 that a couple of buddies and I will be taking to WY for the first time in 6 weeks. I added a few critical components to my truck a few years ago that are ideal for this trip.

God Bless y'all for dealing with the drama of the classified section. Lord knows I don't have the patience.

I would put it in 6 or 8oz containers and use the entire bag when opened for the first time after freezing. I wonder if I could find a shrink wrap that would fit over the screw on lids?
I've own or owned about a dozen Vortex optics in the Razor and Viper line over the last decade plus. I've never needed to send back a single one. I just recently bought a set of these 8x32 UHDs from market place.
