[QUOTE="martinakl, post: 2690693, member: 74115"] I'll vote 6.5 RPM. I'm saving up for one now. I wanted a magnum 6.5mm of some sort. My process went like this: I kind of went from picking the rifle I wanted and then the cartridge available in that rifle. I've narrowed it down to the Weatherby Backcountry 2.0 or the Weatherby Accumark Pro. They're pretty much the same price, I'll pick one when the funds are saved up. ~5lb gun vs. ~7lb gun. I'll use some marketing mumbo jumbo from a Weatherby youtube and say "I'm buying a system." Ammo is stupid expensive. I've already purchased brass and dies. Grafs.com has 50 count brass in stock. Petersons is running a batch of 6.5 PRM brass in early 2023 (I emailed them, they do make it and they will be doing a run soon). I will probably offload the Weatherby brand stuff as soon as I can get my hands on Peterson. In this day and age, components purchased first, rifle second. If I was buying a factory rifle from another brand, a 6.5 PRC would work. If I was building, a 6.5 SAUM would be my choice. [/QUOTE]
