[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1517416, member: 10291"] There is a very good chance that the 6.5PRC will be very successful, a good move on Hornadys part. Prior to the 6.5 Creedmoor, other then in specific competitive circles, the 6.5’s went largely unnoticed. Most of the mass rifle/hunting market has never heard of the 6.5x284. The wildcat heritage, lack of SAAMI registration and factory ammo has inhibited its market penetration. Just as Hornsdy successfully exploited the weaknesses of the then existing offerings which lead to the 6.5 Creedmoor, they are following a similar path with the 6.5PRC, piggy backing off the Creedmoors success. The promotion and availability of factory rifles and affordable performance ammo should make a difference. I think the attributes of a high BC 6.5 bullet traveling in the 3000FPS range with superb accuracy, and manageable recoil will be quickly recognized by shooters and hunters ....its already started. I’d bet that over the next 5 years many more 6.5PRC’s will be sold to the mass market then 6.5x284’s....but not necessarily because it’s an inherently better performer then the 6.5x284. IMO. [/QUOTE]
