[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1577423, member: 30902"] To me the only "difficult" to load cartridges are wildcats and orphans with a very small following like the 7LRM or 6.5LRM that I shoot. The difficulty with them is very limited availability and expensive brass, the need for expensive custom dies etc. Other than that pick one and run with it. The 6.5 PRC is nice, I'd rather have a .264wm though if gas is what you're looking for. Less gas, go with the .260Rem or 6.5CM and you'll have all the gun 90% of hunters and long range shooters will ever need. The 30.06, great round, but I prefer the .300wm and .300Rum for "more gas". You can't pick a "bad round" if it has been around for 20 years or more and has a large following. When you jump on the latest, greatest, newest fad there's always a good chance that five or ten years down the road you'll find yourself with one of those orphans I spoke about above. I'm a buy it, keep it, and shoot it forever guy so my way of thinking is somewhat different than a lot of guys. [/QUOTE]
