[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1955733, member: 66917"] I don't think the 6.5 PRC will impact 6.5 CM sales enough to obsolete the CM. The CM is so widely used in the target world and has a good foot hold in the hunting world due to its low recoil and great accuracy. In hunting world the 6.5 PRC is gaining because it's relatively low recoil great accuracy and great performance in the 500-1000 yard range on game. Plus you can put it in a really light package and get all that performance which is a win win for hunters. So they have there own niches in the market. With whatever Hornady might do you have the big 300 PRC you have the high performance light recoiling 6.5 PRC, I'd like to see them come out with a 7mm based on the same case but more along the size of a 7mm LRM case. A cartridge that will put out Berger 180 VLD near the 3100fps mark squarely targeted at medium recoil and long range hunting and shooting. I have to admit I am prejudice a little because I have hunted with a 7mm LRM for years, the solution is right there with their current case I use the same Wilson bushing for my 375 Ruger, 7mm LRM, and 6.5 PRC. It'll likely never happen. 😃 [/QUOTE]
