[QUOTE="STEEL SLINGER, post: 1462667, member: 42414"] I couldn't agree more with the above comments of Wildrose and Iclimb. . .TO MANY manufactures coming out with "New Bad Boy" cartridges pushed by people with outstanding marketing degrees that know how to sell the world on anything!!! Yes, to many "Cartridge Hipsters" in the world these days. One cartridge that has really got my goat lately has been the hype of the 224 Valkery as a 1000 yrd. rifle cartridge. . .give me a **** break! Yes, it shoots .224 heavies, but only because the rifle barrel has the correct twist. Put a 7tw or 8tw barrel on a 22-250 and it will stomp the Valkery into the ground. The 6.5 CM is basically a Ackley Imp. 260 Rem which people have been shooting looong before the CM was even a twinkle in the eyes of DeMille and Emary. The 6.5 CM has been racking up the popularity, but it has nothing over the 6.5 Swede or the 260 Rem or AI'd versions of either one. It just has a **** good marketing representative with deep $$ pockets to push it. I too would be leary of the 6.5 PRC, there is comparable/better cartridges out there that are proven. But if you have to have something "Custom" (and I'm very guilty of this) then I would strongly look a Rich's line of Sherman Short Mags. Now that he has the brass issue worked out I'm on the verge of either a 6.5 or 7mm SS. [/QUOTE]
