What if the 6.5 PRC had preceded the 6.5 Creedmoor?

[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1901875, member: 36999"] Because both were cartridges released by Hornady and have garnered a great deal of attention over the past few years. Additionally it does appear that the 6.5 PRC was created to be the next step up to fill the gap between the Creedmoor(2700) and the 26 Nosler(3200). It’s faster than the Creedmoor by a discernible margin yet doesn’t have the shortcomings of being as big as the Nosler, basically it is the happy medium many people were looking for. One could make a fair argument for the .264 Win Mag but until they start releasing factory rifles with faster twists it will unfortunately be regulated to the realm of handloaders and custom gun builders. I know I personally chose the PRC over the .264 because my dad and brother would most likely be buying factory rifles and I wanted to use the same load across them so we can share ammo. So with a number of people now picking up the PRC (myself included) for hunting due to the speed advantage over the Creedmoor it is a reasonable question to debate if the PRC coming first would have impacted the popularity of the Creedmoor.
