Thread: 6.5 PRC what’s the point?!

One good thing that I can see about the 6.5PRC is that its going to be supported by rifle manufacturers and ammo suppliers which along with the Creedmoor will ensure a good range of rifles and decent ammo for the 6.5 caliber.

Also, some of the new rifles might have a faster twist to accomodate the excellent heavier 6.5 projectiles coming out on the back of the PRC?

The .260 and 6.5x55 have never been well supported and the ammo choice has been limited (and for the 6.5x55 anaemic).

Its sort of like mainstreaming the 6.5 which the Americans have never had a liking for.

I have a good 6.5x55 that I hand load for but not everyone can be bothered with the mucking around. Plus the PRC has a few more herbs.
