[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 1994304, member: 5437"] There is some truth in the fact that the RL26 magic can work in other cartridges. So the ~200fps the CM gains can also apply at least in part to the PRC, etc. The problem with some of those cases is that they start to push up to RL33/VV570 magic land. If you are looking for a lightweight hunting rifle that performs and don't need to chase that extra speed then the CM is great. If I was building a one rifle setup, the action allowed it and didn't have a heavier (bigger cartridge) rifle I would probably go to the PRC. It is going to kick a little more, the Kimber 84m I have would become a 8400 or another action and it would get bigger/heavier, needs a mid-length action to get all she's got and I lose 1 round in the mag if I optimize everything. So for the lightweight practical medium cartridge mountain rifle, a 6.5 CM is just about perfect IMO. I'm also building a 300 PRC. The 6.5 CM is not the magic many say but it does work extremely well for that application. [/QUOTE]
