[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 2557505, member: 5437"] I must admit I am warming up to this design. Initially I was disappointed isn't longer, closer to the 7 LRM, but after looking at dimensions/capacity/ratios, it is landing right where the 6.5 PRC & 300 PRC & 6mm Creedmoor (which is more inline with PRC than Creed in performance) land. That is, heaviest for caliber bullets approaching 3,000 fps which seems to be a sweet spot before the performance per grains of powder starts nosing off more sharply. The recurring complaint seems to be that there are other cartridges that can me made to do the same thing. That is certainly true. However none of them do it across the board with any rifle and any ammo. An individual can make a rifle and a load that duplicate or exceed the performance but you aren't just buying that and shooting it. You aren't going to buy ammo off the shelf and get that performance. The combination of a well balanced, accurate designed from the start, efficient "magnum" that is in an approved and common template, with full factory support, not proprietary, and yes, effective advertising, is unique and a recipe for success. I am fine doing a one off custom and loading my own. Most are not wanting to do that. Plus the added availability of quality brass is a huge plus. The more components and support out there the better. I have moved away from a one rifle 7mm to a 6.5 Creed + 300 PRC quiver. If I did a 7mm, this would be it. [/QUOTE]
