Thread: 260 Rem, AI & Imp

Yes but no its still a fat and wide case, unlike your 30-06 so a little different.. but in broad terms it is a reduced pressure load in a larger capacity case. H1000 is a slower powder, its ignition pattern is more progressive that is apparently part of the equation as well.

Pressure and heat are apparently what burns out barrels, that and high fire rates. Getting velocity without excess pressure and heat is differcult to achieve in small cases.

I like the idea and the sound of the 6.5 PRC, especially since you can buy factory ammo for it from Hornady. However the only factory rifle I have heard that is arriving chambered in it is the Sauer. Now these are wonderful rifles, just a bit heavy for me.
