[QUOTE="PNWdude67, post: 1955723, member: 110615"] The larger diameter case makes mag capacity an issue. We can run 10-12 round mags with standard bolt face, while the PRC runs 5-7 rounds with the mag bolt bolt face. Also, cases generally work most efficiently when near 100% powder fill. “Loading down“ the PRC is possible but not optimal for best performance. As a reloader, my preference (And I have loaded 6.5 Creed, 6.5 PRC and 6 creed and 6 BRA, among others) would be to go with the 6.5 and 6 x 47 cases vs the Creedmoor, to get the most efficient and accurate case for a competition Round shooting the 150 class 6.5 and 115 class 6 mm bullets running in the 2850-2900 FPS range. That’s just my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
