[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2610460, member: 116181"] That they do. This will still drive some benefits down to the shooters in terms of availably and variety of components. I'm happy to see the 6.8 Western and hope it takes off because hopefully that will create a hunter's market for long, heavy, high-BC match-grade bullets in .270 via high-end loaded ammo lines. Berger makes twice as many 6.5 and 7mm bullet designs as they offer in .270. Seems to me that since on paper the 156gn 6.5mm EOL and 195gn 7mm EOL outrun the 170gn .270 EOL then there's still plenty of room for improvement at the top end of the .270 caliber. The 7 PRC probably won't move the needle on bullets very much because this is a case of the hunters market being late to the game realizing 7mm is more than just Rem Mags and 7-08s, but it's still a new factory-supported case to work off of. It's hopefully only a matter of time until there's a 6.8 PRC wildcat to join the 25 PRC that's going around, and the 7 PRC case is now an option in addition the 6.5 PRC case to make one. Case in point it Alpha and Peterson are selling cases that the majority of the market hasn't heard of, and they do that because shooters are serious about getting good stuff and willing to spend a lot of money on it. 6 Dasher is now a factory supported case, that was grass-roots growth driven by the benchrest and PRC crowd right there. Watch that Hornady tries to SAAMI-spec a slightly different Dasher and call it the 6 PRC 🤣 [/QUOTE]
