Also makes me wonder why the 6.5 PRC even came to be when its just a slightly fatter 6.5x284 and only .12" shorter.
    The 7mm PRC is a different beast as you stated.
    I think you find the short fat powder columns of the magnums are just going to achieve the same speed in a shorter barrel than their counter part
