I've used both and the win 150 power point is awesome as a bush hunting load. Buy three packets, sight your rifle to be bang in st 50 meters and go hunting and shoot stuff in the bush until you run...

Bullet placement is more important than weight. Use what u got.

I had one 4.5-14x42 on a 223 and then 243. Was fine. Shot wallabies out to 500m with it. Held zero really well, esp when my rifle was on a ATV a lot.

Had a 3-9x40 on a Ruger 10/22 semi. Thousands and thousands of rounds through it with the semi action cycling / slamming, scope never missed a beat and held zero for years.
