[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1679279, member: 110773"] My first 6.5 was a 6.5-06AI, Kreiger match barrel on an Interarms Mark X action, bedded fluted, Timney trigger, Boyd stock. It turned out to be an awesome shooter. Brass is .25-06 necked up, no need to turn the necks. Fire-form loads have been very accurate as well. Now I'm putting together a Savage 111 that needs a new barrel. The most likely candidate is a 7.5- or 8-twist 6.5 PRC for a number of reasons. I'm not concerned about the future of the cartridge as I believe it and the .300 PRC will be long-term winners. Could go with anther 6.5-06AI, but this rifle will likely get passed down to a non-reloader family member. By the time that happens i expect the 6.5 PRC to be pretty common. A couple of advantages the PRC has over standard cartridges is a) more headroom (bullet above the case mouth), and b) tighter SAAMI chamber dimensions. [/QUOTE]
