[QUOTE="stephenr6565, post: 2277507, member: 75555"] that's one thing that boggles my mind is all the hating on the new Hornady cartridges like the creedmoor doesn't do anything the 260 can, the 6.5 PRC doesn't do anything the 6.5-284 can & the 300 PRC doesn't do anything the 30 Nosler can. When you are talking about handloads and custom chambers for the heavies they don't do anything special compared to similar sized cartridges. But you can go buy off the shelf heavy for caliber ammo that shoots nearly as good as handloads that's what they & they do it extremely good. There two things holding me back from building a 6.8 western the first is I don't know how well the factory ammo shoots as I don't know of anyone that has built or bought a 6.8. And the second is if the factory offerings do shoot well is whether or not it will catch on enough for winchester to continue to support it with good shooting factory ammo. I have a 270 WSM in a winchester featherlite that never shot very good so I have a perfect donor action for a 6.8 Western build but I am hesitant as I have no intention of handloading anymore [/QUOTE]
