[QUOTE="cb4128, post: 2157179, member: 80069"] I have had both and if you can get factory ammo for the PRC, that is really nice. However, it is really hard to find ammo or brass right now for either caliber. *I would make the choice based upon your preference of action length - my short action 6.5 SAUM has a 2.900" COAL with 140gr berger hybrids to the lands, the factory 6.5 PRC rounds are 2.950" COAL. So, with a bdl setup you can get 2.995" COAL and with Accurate mags in a M5 setup you can get 2.950" COAL. The SAUM gives you more flexibility to OAL in either setup. My PRC was built on a long action and if I did it again, I would go for an XM length action. By the way, 2 of my buddies have 6.5 PRC's and shoot factory ELDX ammo out of it and they shoot just as good as my handloads in my SAUM. There's no wrong answer! [/QUOTE]
