[QUOTE="7.62 Gunner, post: 2605474, member: 121641"] Trust me I'm not even a little excited about the 7 prc, I really dislike what hornady did with all the prcs. But making a 270 with 4-5 grains less capacity than a 270 wsm, and marrying yourself to a very limited selection of heavy high bc bullets is even dumber. I disagree The 6.5 prc is the most redundant of them all. The case is 2.030" long and given its narrower diameter than the 6.5 saum it holds 68 grains verses 73, and the saum is .005" longer. Plus it comes with those awesome resizing issues With the already properly throated and twisted 6.5x284 holding a whopping 2 grains less than the prc I'm honestly baffled at what Hornady did. They should have standardized the 6.5 saum with whatever legal changes may have been reqired and called it a day. Basically while I appreciate ingenuity the firearms industry is playing us for fools [/QUOTE]
