[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2742832, member: 313"] A. No matter how you slice the pie (or make apples to oranges comparisons), the 6.5PRC will not have a ballistic advantage over a 300WM. B. "Initial bullet size" matters because both bullets will expand and the larger diameter bullet will have more frontal mass/diameter, thus resulting in a larger wound channel, all things being equal. It's just my opinion, but any 30cal mag would make a more efficient elk cartridge than a 6.5PRC. Will the PRC work; sure, and so will the 6.5 Creed as noted by shooters right here on LRH. Use whatever you're comfortable with. [/QUOTE]
