This is not at all like the differences between a .223 and a 5.56.
I'm not going to pretend that didn't go more then a little over m head, but it did answer my question. Which round would work better for longer range precision shooting for the recreational/competitive shooter side? I'm looking at hunting secondary for the time being. Thank you for your time and answering my question.
