[QUOTE="gilk1, post: 1696874, member: 38214"] First, don’t sell guns - you will regret it. Second, don’t sell guns that shoot well - you will really regret it. Why do you feel that a 260, or 25-06, don’t fill your needs? The 260 is a very capable cartridge. The 6.5PRC is just a gimmick that doesn’t fill any niche that isnt being filled now (6.5SAUM), it’s simply the new shiny toy on the shelf. When sleeting a rifle cartridge, start with the bullet. Choose a bullet tailored to your specific needs, terminal ballistics in this case. Now, decide if that bullet’s effective range based on supersonic flight (above Mach 1.2-1.4) and min expansion or hydrostatic shock velocity. If a 260 can deliver that bullet at the required velocity in your area of operation (atmospheric conditions) then keep it. If not, consider something else. 7mm or 30cal are much more effective hunting calibers than 6.5mm, if that is your purpose.
