[QUOTE="MajorSpittle, post: 2022818, member: 53101"] The thing with getting 6.5 PRC vs 6.5C is that if you are shooting a bolt action rifle it is always nice to have a little extra case capacity available if you want it. You can still load at 6.5C levels if you want because it isn't going to affect cycling of an action. I think it is only about 14 grains extra case capacity? (I never loaded for a 6.5C so not sure) [B]edit:[/B] I just looked up an apples to apples comparison Hodgon Website shows: 6.5C 147 ELD-M, Max loads with IMR 4831 and H4831 being 46 and 44.3 @ 2700ish FPS. Both are compressed loads. Hornady Website shows: 6.5PRC 147 ELD-M, Starting Loadswith IMR 4831 and H4831 being 45.5 and 47 @ 2700ish FPS. [/QUOTE]
