6.5PRC was (like 6.5 Creedmore) brought about to sell more new rifles / compnents.
Gun writers jumped on it (earned their money) and promoted the hell out of it and made it the cool calibre to have...............I mean who doesn't want the latest cool gun.
rest is history until the "next" cool calibre arrives on the market.
Personally the 6.5 Creedmore is not what I would pick for a hunting rifle and nor would I choose the 6.5PRC, I feel there is no substitute for using a heavy bullet weight in 7mm + calibre.
The creedmore however is an excellent target rifle calibre from what I have personally witnessed.
