Went back to a 708 for a couple years which was better. Now use a 300wsm and have no issue's, still run on some
Heart shots as is expected but nothing like the 6.5.
This may not be an issue to you where you hunt, but in some of the steep country down here it can be the difference between finding the animal or not. The PRC will be better than the creedmoor i get that, but not a lot better.

Cheers for the feedback appreciate it.
