[QUOTE="speedengineer, post: 1943341, member: 112986"] I do [ever so slightly] prefer the 6.5 PRC to 7mmRM, but I certainly didn't tweak the data to make it appear superior. I don't believe Browning does make a 7mm Rem Mag in an 8 twist. They had some rifles in 7mmRM showing 8 and some 9.5 on their website back in December (and still today it appears). Back then, I called Browning directly to inquire why some models weren't available in the 8 twist, and they said actually none of them were. I suppose it is possible they are now manufacturing some models in 8 twist, but that would be news to me. Regardless, the OP might not want a Browning - and I am certain that you would agree - "most" factory 7mmRM rifles don't come with a twist rate fast enough to shoot the heaviest bullet offerings, but "most" factory rifles in 6.5 PRC do. It's also funny how people always get defensive when another voices support for a cartridge different from what they personally prefer. I'd wager that you own a 7mm Remington Magnum? ;) No worries, they are both excellent cartridges, and the OP would be well served by either. [/QUOTE]
