[QUOTE="wwbrown, post: 1794847, member: 31392"] 6.5 Creedmore or PRC, first ask yourself what you want to do with it and then decide which one. For hunting deer and smaller animals up to 400-500 yards I would go with the creed, if elk and larger or longer range hunting I would go with the PRC. I have shot up a bunch of 6.5 mm barrels and really like the caliber, but also know that the PRC will burn a barrel up pretty fast if pushes hard. For shooting paper or steel inside of 1,100 or so yards, I would go with he creed. I smoked my 6.5 WSM barrel in about 500 rounds, and would get close to 2,000 rounds out of my F-class 6.5x47 barrels. So if your use lies within animals and ranges that you feel comfortable with the Creedmore go with it. Note I say that you are comfortable with as you may think my choice of animals and ranges is insane so set your own thresholds. The Creedmore will give you much better barrel life and is known to be an easy round to load accurate rounds for. Better yet you already own the Creedmore stick with it shoot the barrel out buy another and repeat. [/QUOTE]
