[QUOTE="Deleted member 103481, post: 1717795"] It’s possible.. but on some other let’s call it “prs wannabe” forums I peruse people are being steered away pretty sharply by actual shooters because for the not hunting people it doesn’t give you anything over a creed but recoil and a tiny bit of wind. Hornady went after the prs market it seems at the exact time the prs market shifted to even smaller caliber cartridges with less recoil the opposite of a prc compared to a 6.5cm. To me, it’s benefits lie purely in the hunting field, with the 300 as a much better ELR option, and the little creed as a much better tactical option. I think they botched the name a little bit with the nod at prs that reacted with a solid “meh” to it at best. While it’s an awesome niche relying purely on the hunting community to support a cartridge that’s not got any foothold at all compared to the absolute giants (308,3006,7rm,300win) that are already established is a tough road to pave. I don’t think it will flop, I think it will have much less success than the creeds and the 300 prc though. It’s a nice little cartridge, and I hope it succeeds. Tikka chambering in it would be huge, a vanguard chambered in the RPM before a working class rifle gets the PRC is huge in a bad way. There are avenues this cartridge will rocket in popularity and there are avenues this cartridge will stagnate. We will get to watch and look back on this thread in 5 years knowing what happened and laugh at ourselves. [/QUOTE]
