Thread: Some thoughts on 6.5 PRC

It certainly seems to be an accurate round, but I wonder if a slightly bigger case although less efficient would allow for better velocity, lower chamber pressure and longer barrel life ?
The Creedmore does well, giving the same velocities as a 270 with 10 gr less powder and a smaller diameter ( more bearing surface) same weight projectile

Hornady data suggests 3150 with a max load of RL26 behind a 143 eldx. Im yet to see one even come close to that.
