[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 2334637, member: 17889"] The 7mmRM is a venerable old warrior. Everyone should have one IMHO. Ammo is available in wide range of weights/types. Ammo is typically one of the "always available" choices where ever one travels to hunt... the venerable Two Dot Test....thinking lost ammo, run out of ammo, different hunting application arises, et el. It is a "do it all" caliber. 6.5PRC is a new kid on the block with impressive new credentials. But, unless one reloads, ammo is scarce, more narrow range of bullets weighs, etc. While the 6.5 is suitable for mule deer, a little marginal for elk IMHO, I'd go for the 7 over the 6.5 for many reasons including being more suitable for long range elk, and you already have a 6.5, albeit it in CM. That said, I have a couple 6.5PRCs and love them for yet another niche in the gun world. I believe the 7 niche is much broader than the 6.5. Go with the old warrior....IMHO. [/QUOTE]
