[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1639659, member: 11960"] The case capacity on the 6.5 SS is a little larger than a straight 6.5 PRC and until I see some pressure tested data for it, I believe it's also loaded to slightly higher pressures and that's what gives the velocity increase. The higher pressures don't necessarily give traditional pressure signs because of the case design, brass quality and the fact that they're all custom built rifles. That's not a cheap shot at the 6.5 SS or any of his other designs, it's just a reality. The 6.5 PRC is a great round and so are all the other moderate capacity 6.5s (6.5x284, 6.5-06AI, 6.5 SAUM, 6.5 WSM, 6.5 SS, 6.5 SST, 264 WM, etc.) which will all be within 100-150 fps of each other. Pick the stamp you want on the side of your barrel and no critter will ever know the difference. Looking for a factory gun with good quality factory ammo makes that list pretty short and leaves you with the 6.5 PRC, and that's not a bad thing at all! [/QUOTE]
