[QUOTE="Iclimb, post: 1461702, member: 70322"] To say it’s a fad cartridge...well maybe the PRC SPECIFICALLY is but honestly to get mag performance in a true Short action well the saum and the prc fill that niche nicely. The SS offerings are awesome but If your not looking to roll your own ammo then there are only a couple options. Until the day comes otherwise...you’re probably on the right track unless you handload... Listen to the second episode of the gunwerks podcast, there is a good case to be made for the prc. The biggest thing I see for it oover the saum, as of now, seems to be the ammo offering. I anticipate that with the price of the ammo and the factory availability well that’s going to get folks shooting which should snowball into demand & manufacturers looking in from the outside...well it might be more than a cult following. My 02 parrots George’s... if your looking for a rig to shoot, like a Creedmoor on steroids AND if you want factory offerings of reasonably priced ammo then the PRC is a good option for a Short action setup. If you want more horsepower and/or handload then I’d get the SAUM. The ballistics don’t lie and there is a strong case for the SAUM over anything else assuming you have some specific boxes to check.... Undoubtedly you’ll hear someone sprack off that “it won’t do anything a .270 can’t” If you want one...get it! Shoot the heck out of it and if the “fad” fades well...rebarrel to a 7wsm or something considered more of a “cornerstone” cartridge. Btw I have a new 6.5 GAP for grabs in the classifieds. [/QUOTE]
