[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1723909, member: 93895"] Let me start off by saying, I don't need another rifle to fill a nich or for any purpose other than putting another rifle together just for fun. I already have 9 bolt rifles to hunt most any thing on the North American Continent. Considering I reload and don't need to buy factory ammo and I already have two 6.5 creedmoors with one that pushes a 147 eld @ 2940fps, why would I choose the 6.5 prc over the 6.5 GAP? I would plan on running rl26 but have retumbo and other powders available. From what I gather, the GAP would be similar to 264 win mag velocity in a short action. The PRC would put me in the neighborhood of 6.5-06 or 6.5-284 velocity and would fit in a short action. Not really concerned about barrel life as I have plenty of other guns to shoot if I get bored.
