[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1569543, member: 54178"] I agree with "light shooter", the 6.5 CM is great at long range for targets and antelope or coyotes but not big deer and especially elk. I have 6.5 CM rifles in both competition (RPR) and hunting (X-Bolt Pro) but I know that cartridge's limitations. For elk I have a .300 Win mag Browning A-Bolt. That's why the 30 PRC interests me so much. It is designed to overcome problems of the .300 Win mag (belt & head spacing), .300 Norma mag (neck & COAL W/long bullets), and 30 Nosler (overbore/short barrel life, kicks like hell). If that 30 PRC is too much recoil the 6.5 PRC will kill bull elk to 500 yards with regularity. Why do I like the PRC cartridges? Because Hornady has put a lot of design thought into them and while they are not blazing fast barrel burners they are quite flat shooting with the above named problems solved. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
