[QUOTE="Carey Farmer, post: 2611131, member: 122715"] I have both 6.5 PRC and 6.5 SAUM. Neither one has clickers. The SAUM is about 75 fps faster than the PRC. Biggest drawback with the PRC is while both the PRC and the SAUM have about the same case length, the standard PRC reamer has so much freebore (0.188") that with heavy bullets, after the lands have retreated a few tens of thousandths, my (short-action) rifle runs out of mag length for chasing the lands. I thought about getting a custom reamer with 0.120" freebore, but was afraid that the rifle would end up with factory ammo jammed into the lands. Biggest drawback with the SAUM is only one source of 6.5 headstamped brass (ADG). But I have enough of that brass to outlast the barrel. [/QUOTE]
