[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1496155, member: 103303"] The RCM has been on the market for 10years. Yes the PRC is new, but the idea of necking a 300rcm up or down is not. I'm curious about the RCM case also. The idea of +1 in the mag is attractive (compared to saum/WSM). I bet they are easier to get to feed reliably without the rebated rim also. The main downside I see is proprietary brass. Hornady is the only source. I don't have much experience with Hornady brass yet. Acquired some for a 280 im playing with, and curious to see how many loadings I can get out of it. Out of the bag I culled close to 10%. Fact is, it's hard to do a short mag on the cheap. Especially if you have to buy your own reamer for your own wildcat. This is a pipe dream for someone who does not reload. To me it sounds like you might be getting ahead of yourself. I think it's a good idea to do some load development, load a few hundred rounds for something you already have. Get a feel for the process before you entertain custom reamers and custom dies. It will be interesting to see how many competition shooters ditch their 6.5x55's and 6.5x284's for the PRC. I don't think many will. The biggest difference is when it comes to purchasing loaded ammo. What tickles me the most when it comes to action length is how Mauser got it right over a century ago! [/QUOTE]
