[QUOTE="57K, post: 1354148, member: 75296"] Interesting thread, and now we have the 6.5 PRC to throw into the mix. In looking up load data, invariably, the custom barrel has a twist rate of 1 in 9". I know it's hard to over-stabilize a bullet, but with the points made about short barrel life, I can't help but wonder if 1 in 8" is too fast for the magnum class 6.5s? And as far as building a rifle, I'd be very happy with the .260 Rem AI. However, since it seems that the 6.5mm is pretty well covered now, I'm inclined to agree with something I read earlier about the new 6.5 PRC: what's the point? As far as the 6.5 CM or .260 Rem, I'd rather shoot the 7mm-08. I can't help but wonder if a 7mm PRC wouldn't make more sense? [/QUOTE]
