[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1594879, member: 11960"] Not to nit pick, but the 480 Ruger came out in 2003 and was a Hornady backed chambering that's doing very well in the handgun hunting community. Also, the 6.5 SS beats the PRC in every way, except for factory ammo, mass market support, affordable and readily available brass and dies, pressure tested load data and production guns. Other than that, the 6.5 SS wins every time. I'll also point out that the Sherman line of wildcats stand on their own merit without the help of a supporter who, if I'm not mistaken, has yet to actually financially support the development of the Sherman line of wildcats by purchasing brass, dies or a reamer for any of them. At least I have a set of his 300 PRC S.I. dies on preorder and will rent or buy a reamer when the time comes. I'm starting to think that 3800 is very possible. I have a handfull of 117gr Hammer Hunters left over from my 270 AR project a while back, so I'm going to see how fast I can get those moving. These are the bullets I have on hand: [img]https://i.imgur.com/ufTBSWe.jpg?1[/img] 117 Hammer Hunter, 140 BT, 140 Sierra TGK, 145 ELDx, 168gr Hammer Hunter [/QUOTE]
