[QUOTE="30 Hammer, post: 1611641, member: 100604"] The 6.5 PRC is perfect with an 18 a 20” barrel if you hand load. Anything longer than 20” is a waste of weight with the right powder and a good heavy bullet. Go heavy on the bullet and you will love your “short” stout barrel in a PRC. In testing for the Mountain Shadow I designed for Axial Precision we have shot 1/8” MOA with factory Hornady PRC ammo and a 20” barrel during break in. The performance gain you get from a handload will be anywhere from 50 to 200 FPS. The 6.5 CM works well from 16” to 22” but in my opinion the velocity gain AND the heavy Bullets from the PRC just make it the ultimate 6.5. Plus you can shoot factory ammo in a pinch. [/QUOTE]
