[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1656755, member: 54178"] I'm selling my 6.5 CM Browning X-Bolt Pro rifle and getting the same rifle in 6.5 PRC which I feel is a better cartridge for Nevada's big game. The extra energy would be better suited for longer shots on mule deer and shots to 300 yards on cow elk. The 6.5 CM seemed ideal for coyotes with light 130 gr. Hornady bullets. I have A Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 CM but I don't want to carry that 18 lb. boat anchor hunting if I have to walk far to set up. So far the 6.5 PRC does not come in loads that light so I'm thinking the 147 ELD-M (match) bullets are better than the 143 gr. ELD-X (expanding) hunting bullets. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
