    6.5 PRC what’s the point?!

    So if you are buying a factory gun and don’t reload I get it....

    But if your building a custom and/or reloading then why not the 6.5 SAUM and download if you want less performance.

    At most matches in NZ we are restricted to boltface for the class you shoot, so you are in magnum already and facing the 338 lapua, 300 Norma and any other slick calibers out there.

    Am I missing something or not getting onboard the hype?
    BRADS, chainsaw, Moa Hunter and 1 others like this.
    Warm Barrels!
