[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1475662, member: 54178"] CLP, thanks for the first hand experience. Your Kyrgyzstan hunt was just the "proof" that I felt would probably be coming out of the field from this new cartridge. As one who shoots the 6.5 Creedmoor in competition and for hunting - different rifles, natch - I think the 6.5 PRC will find a home in some truly good rifles that it "likes". The right barrel length (likely 22 to 24 inches ) and a good action will put this cartridge into the mountain rifle cartridge class. When stalking closer than 1,000 yards/meters to a mountain goat or bighorn sheep is impossible, the wind nearly still and the shooter well trained then the 6.5 PRC will come into its own. Send that 150 to 160 grain VLD or Hybrid bullet and it will do the job. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
