[QUOTE="Armalite7.62, post: 2490644, member: 122147"] The ballistics chart I have provided here should help you make a decision where you take into consideration the COMPARISONS you will have to deali with : RECOIL Factor RECOIL ENERGY ( ft lbs ) RECOIL VELOCITY (fps) BULLET WEIGHT MUZZLE VELOCITY BULLET"S Traveling VELOCITY AT 1000 Yards or more BULLET"S SUCEPTIBILTY TO WIND DRIFT Considering the 6.5 PRC performance there are many rifles of differing weights you will have to carrys. I think TIKKA , AND or the SAUER 100-Fieldshoot both offer a 24 inch barrel. Barrel length contributes about 30 fps per inch velocity which may be the reason for many manufacturers going to a shorter length especially when bull barrel weight is considered. The PRC 6.5 projectile is more like unto a magnum cartridge for performance yet it will not burn out your barrel causing a shortened barrel life. Performance accuracy for both the 6.5 Creedmore or the 6.5 PRC are superior to the .308.

It is IMHO a more capable round but definitely a more ethical round since I have the moral responsibility for a clean kill. These are decisions a bow hunter is well familiar with.
