[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 1873413, member: 113623"] I was debating the same thing recently, when purchasing a Bergara B14 Ridge Wilderness model. I have a 6.5CM for target and "tactical" shooting, but have not been that impressed with what I have seen with 6.5CM and .260 Rem when it comes to dropping medium to large game at longer distances. That pushed me to look at the 6.5 PRC, but there are really only two loads available, and out here in Kalifornia we have to use lead free ammo when hunting. I don't have the time to reload, so I am stuck with factory offerings. In my research regarding the tangible differences between the two 6.5's I came across this long Range Pursuit podcast which I thought was interesting and informative.

Food for thought. [/QUOTE]
