[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2201476, member: 10755"] I don’t hate the round, I hate the HYPE surrounding it and the BELIEVERS that this round is the Be All, End All round to 1000. PRS is fine and dandy, it has sold lots of guns, just like IPSC did in the 90’s. I get it, new rounds sell guns. But, to come out with slogans like “The Creedmoor shoots flatter to 1000 than a 300WM”, and not mentioning what bullet or what velocities each round is producing is simply lies if you take the best/highest BC in both cartridges, which most factory 6.5’s can’t shoot due to lack of twist rate, is just false. It sells rifles and cartridges, it doesn’t have to be 100% true across the board. Just like people quoting how much H2O the 300WM holds in comparison to other cartridges, across several brands, it varies by up to 10g, this is common knowledge to most reloaders, but many quote the low number when comparing 300WM/PRC/Nosler, yet they forget that the lower capacity cases still get the same velocity yet with less powder. Anyway, I digress. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
