[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2605244, member: 8394"] 6.5 prc makes sense as it fits better in a true short action over a 6.5 x 284 or 6.5 saum. Although I'd probably not make the switch if I already had the previous cartridges. The 7 prc is a weird one, I get the dislike of loading belted magnums but in a world with the 7wsm, 280 ai, 284, 28 nosler, 7 rum.... did we really need a 7 prc? The 6.8 western is the lifted Subaru of cartridges. Sounds good on paper but in practice it's only pulling from a small pool of folks who just want to be different even if the benefit is mostly an intangible personal preference. It it really does it for you, that's fine and dandy. Doesn't change the fact that lots would rather see the powder primers and brass filling the empty shelves for established cartridges. Personally I already have fast twist 270wsm, so I'll just stuff the new 175 pills in it and ride of into the sunset. [/QUOTE]
