[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1700232, member: 110773"] Thank you for posting that. I agree with most if not all of the points made. I've been looking for about a year for a cartridge that will fit my Savage 111 magazine and give me great down-range ballistics. When the .375 Ruger first came out I predicted a series of new cartridges based on that case. Why? Because it ditches the superfluous belt, fits standard long action rifles and bolt heads and provides a fatter case for more consistent powder burn. The 6.5 PRC and .300PRC will, in my estimation, be winners in the marketplace. I believe we will see other calibers follow. While I currently plan to rebarrel my Savage 111 in 6.5 PRC, a longer 7mm-PRC with a COL that still fits a 3.5" magazine would be my first choice. I'm not going to go with a wildcat and have rejected some of the cartridges you list for the very reasons you list, as well as others. [/QUOTE]
