[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 3096780, member: 31749"] This is the direction I am sort of leaning, the 6.5 PRC is definitely the easiest caliber to divest of the 3 mentioned above as I haven't invested in tools or components to reload it yet. The 300PRC would be a touch overkill though for antelope and deer which is what I was using the 6.5PRC for, and the current planned build of the 300 is more geared to backpacking and shooting off shooting sticks or a pack at 400-500yds (easily enough to address by picking a different stock of course) vs. some of the 800yds+ shots I have the opportunity for with the 6.5PRC setup. The Creedmoor would work for some of that with slightly less margin on velocity/energy (impact velocity on the buck I shot at 889yds was ~1840fps out of the 23.5" PRC, would figure same bullet in the Creedmoor will be 150-200fps slower, which still falls inside of the minimum velocity from Hornady for the ELD-X but won't have the option to really stretch it farther like the PRC would allow). The Creedmoor would also need to go on a bit of a diet if I want to use it for anything other than driving out to a spot I plan to hunt from (fine for the ranch in TX where I go most, but probably not for the less frequent times I head to Wyoming for antelope). Either way, will probably list the AO for sale here and then go from there depending on how quickly that moves. [/QUOTE]
