[QUOTE="DynamicAVP, post: 1575192, member: 46162"] Alright guys. I'm gonna put a gun together for my wife. It's gonna be on a Savage Weather Warrior SA. I want to use a carbon fiber barrel that will eventually have a can on it. Don't know on the can yet as I need to start on the gun 1st. Here's my question; Do I do a 20" barrel (or possibly shorter) with the 6.5PRC or the 6.5CM? Hunting distance will probably be limited to 600yds, target shooting will depend on how far she cares to shoot. Here's my thinking, I believe the CM will be more efficient with powder, however, you can always load down for any reason but you can't always load up. I don't know what the velocity difference will be but if its only a difference of about 100fps then I'll use the CM. If the velocity difference will be closer to 200fps or more, than I'll use the PRC. I plan on using at least 140gr AB as a minimum or the heaviest monolithic. I do understand I'll also use what the barrel chooses too. Thank you for the help and replies. [/QUOTE]
