Had a bit of a play around and compared the 135 classic at 3100fps I would like to get in the 6.5PRC, to my current load in my 260 Ackley. 130 VLD hunting at 2965fps

I used 450yrds. I would consider that the max range the rifle will be used on an animal.
Very rare not to be able to get closer where we hunt Thar and chamois. It is also rare for people I hunt with to be comfortable taking an animal beyond 300yrds.

Not much difference on the dial with the PRC an MOA less at 5.2 opposed to 6.2 in my rifle with typical atmospherics in the high country

But the PRC hits 200fps faster and over 300 ft-lbs harder.
