[QUOTE="PhilMW, post: 1468111, member: 52045"] > The 6.5 PRC was not meant to be a wild card ~ Hornady was a little off with their timing... the results from initial field testing came out just before the 2017 Shot Show. SOCOM was shopping for a new Sniper round, and the Creedmore, based on the .308 case looked great. So all the manufactures pushed to release new rifles in the 6.5 Creedmore for Shot Show. The PRC is a better round that can be adapted to a .308 chassis. They make a .532 Magnum bolt that works in the .308 bolt carrier and WSM magazines for AR10's, and barrels. PLUS ~ for a Versatile platform they could have complete uppers in the Hornady .338 RCM Barrel for a heavy hitter. Same bolt and magazine. Personally, I think SOCOM "jumped the gun" (pun intended) going with the inferior Creedmore. It would also be EASY to Mix-Up the .308 and Creedmore rounds. SAFETY: The PRC and the RCM will not chamber in a .308... And, the feed lips on a WSM magazine are too wide for a .308 round... [/QUOTE]
