[QUOTE="HuntnPack, post: 1941992, member: 42721"] ^^This^^. 6.5 PRC. Especially if your planning on buying a off the shelf rifle In regard to on game bullet performance Both your choices have good options. Know your bullet operating design characteristics & specs. & run em accordingly (ie: shot placement, & min/max velocities) Chances are your only going to be shooting 1 or 2 types of ammo. The 156 has a high sectional density. use the right bullet and stick it [B]IN[/B] the vitals. For Deer/Elk at your 500yd. Distance & even further. 600-800 The PRC is more than capable, & I feel For me gives up nothing to the 7mag. So to answer your question is the extra Recoil of the 7RM worth it ..... Nope !! Might consider a short barreled suppressed 6.5 PRC, I find the PRC to be pleasant to shoot. I can & do shoot mine more often than My previous larger 284 & 30 caliber rifles. And more accurately. I prefer something I will shoot a lot, Get proficient with, & gain confidence in. mine runs 156 Berger’s as well as factory Ammo. If you decide on the PRC, & want to run the 156, Look for something that has the action/mag length to accommodate. In a 7mm I’d probably go with a SAUM. ADG makes brass for both. [/QUOTE]
