[QUOTE="Andrew Massi, post: 1718635, member: 106096"] Hornady does indeed have better marketing they turned the 6.5 creedmoor into the hottest thing, they also need to release the PRC in cheaper rifles- namely tikka most of the current factory offerings are in the price range of a weatherby rifle so moot there. Weatherby has never sought to be everyman's rifle, and as this is a long range hunting forum I'd bet folks arent terribly concerned with ammo availability as they will reload- but for people that appreciate their rifles this new cartridge is a welcome addition to a lineup of 70 year old cartridges. Also, with the move to wyoming their rifles and ammo are getting much more affordable and as discussed ad nauseam on the other rpm threads this cartridge isnt intended to balistically best any cartridge but provide an accurate light package for their smaller 6 lug action.
