[QUOTE="Taylorbok, post: 3082616, member: 118538"] [USER=127412]@FireFlyFishing[/USER] I'm not a huge proponent of Hornady but most everything you said there is wacked out. 1) The 300 PRC may have momentarily caused a shortage of 375 Ruger brass but in the long it drove the production of more high end brass. (ADG, Lapua etc.) 2) 6.5 CM vs PRC, velocity isn't everything, shooting a lighter recoiling cartridge will benefit precision in almost every instance just depends on your requirements. For most people (this site included) a 6.5 CM will do everything they need. 3) Hornady didn't tighten any tolerance's, tolerance are the same as any other cartridge. What they did do is modernize and make the cases more efficient, along with longer spec'd freebore and tighter twist rates for the newer long high BC bullets. 4)You are right there's nothing really wrong with the older cartridges and some of them can be easily made to hang with the newer stuff with a properly set up freebore and faster twist barrel.
