[QUOTE="5RWill, post: 1354630, member: 98561"] I see what you're getting at with the 7 PRC now. The hindrance of the 7mm-08 is that while the .284/7mm projectiles sport some of the highest BCs in their normalized weight class it simply can't manage the oomph to really justify them over a 6.5mm round over a similar charge weight. Also find it strange that the AI for a 7mm-08 doesn't really offer near the gain that the 260AI does over the 260. Having said all that i'm not sure how you couldn't term it a magnum, as it will undoubtedly require a magnum bolt face, require modified AICS mags or magnum mags that hold 2-3rds less compared to the 7mm-08, and having almost 1/2 the powder capacity more than the 7mm-08 itself. For all intensive purposes the 6.5 PRC is a modified 6.5 RCM, i'm not sure how that denotation would change just by going up to 7mm. I do see the benefit and point, though oddly enough couldn't you acquire similar feats with the 7 SAUM or 7 WSM? [/QUOTE]
