[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1742562, member: 2736"] As a builder, I look at the requirements of the cartridge and a magnum bolt face, case capacity and SAMMI pressure all lead to the 6.5 PRC as being a Magnum. With a case capacity matching many magnums and the ability to push 140 grain bullets over 3000 ft/sec I would call it a magnum. The reason I pointed this out is the rifle requirements and the difference in the two so the OP could make the decision. I have no malice against any cartridge and own both the 260 and a RCM. There will always be something Bigger in almost any caliber but there are so many cartridges that are almost ballistic equals They have to be placed somewhere and if they have magnum characteristics that where I would place them. It really doesn't matter what we call them, just the difference in the requirements and the performance. :cool: J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
