[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2320714, member: 115658"] The Israeli's re-barreled many M98's for the 7.62 NATO after WWII rather than acquire stocks of 7.92 X 57 ammo when they gained their independence despite Brit obstruction. At that time there were zillions of M98's left over from WWII. Presently, many 7.62 NATO chambered weapons are now being re-barreled to 6.5 Creedmoor. Popularity and use of the 6.5 Creedmore will increase with general shooting interest favoring military calibers. Trajectories of the 6.5 Creedmore are favorably compared to the .300 WM. Component availability is a priority in my personal selection of a rifle or re-barrel. The 6.5 PRC may be real nice but scarce pricy brass will limit its use & popularity. I just bought 100 rounds of 1X fired Hornady 6.5 Creedmore brass - could not have done that with a 6.5 PRC. Yes! [/QUOTE]
