[QUOTE="texagvet23, post: 2142314, member: 115871"] Under no circumstances would I ever give up my 223. I love that gun way more than any other in the collection. It's cheap to shoot, zero recoil, and effective on everything up to cull deer. Also, I have no real love for the 308 parent cartridges. The 6.5 PRC will be flatter shooting, have better wind deflection and higher sectional density than a comparable load in the 7mm-08. To me, there is a real advantage to the 6.5 PRC as a handloader with bullets such as the 156 Berger. The 257 is unrivaled in terms of effectiveness on deer sized game under 500 yards. It's the flattest shooting, hardest hitting cartridge on the market in that range. The only cartridge I'd consider replacing the 257 with is the 6mm creed for low recoil target shooting and hunting.
