[QUOTE="Da_Skipper, post: 2542073, member: 123473"] if it was my choice......and this is just OPINION..... I would be investigating the 6.5 PRC seriously......lot less recoil than the 300 Winnie, or the 300 PRC.... and contrary to many peoples ideas, the 6.5 PRC was NOT developed from the 300 PRC.....it was necked up from the .300 RCM, (Ruger Compact Magnum), and holds about 62 grs powder rather than the 77 grs the 300 PRC holds..... less recoil, still shoots FLAT. there is a widely varied selection of very good bullets available for it, and it's also quite accurate, and headspaces on the shoulder, instead of the belt...I expect this cartridge to pretty much take over the hunting world in 10 years or so.....I definitely use BONDED bullets however, whatever your preference for brand is..... Good Luck P.S. I'm 75 years old, and have loaded and shot a lot of different cartridges-calibers over the years, ( started reloading in 1960), and have never lost the interest in it....what the 6.5 Creedmore is, the 6.5 PRC is in SPADES ! getcha some ! P.P.S. I didn't catch that you already had a 6.5 x 68....if you need more than THAT, I would get a .300 PRC....why? I don't like belts. [/QUOTE]
