[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1560946, member: 87243"] Pressure does play a role, but so does the amount of powder burning vs bore size. Even with a light load, the PRC would have a significantly larger amount of powder. So far I do not have enough rounds through my rifle to say how good it is gonna do, but I have around 1100-1200 rounds down my rifle, and still outstanding accuracy. I have heard to expect 2500 or so rounds depending on how you run it. Not sure what all the marketing hype says on the prc barrel life. The prc would not be a bad choice if you want to be able to shoot factory ammo and load light. Another option is the 6.5 SST, it will run in a short action better than any of the other cartridges listed, and will do exactly what you want, and ADG is making brass for it, ya might want to check it out. Based off the SAUM case. [/QUOTE]
