[QUOTE="Weatherby Fan, post: 1520086, member: 29953"] As some mentioned above pretty easy to obtain 3000-3100 FPS in a SA magnum if you will, cheap accurate factory ammo and with that being said Hornady makes/produces enough ammo so it’s on the store shelves even in Canada, is that marketing Mumbo Jumbo ? Nope it’s a fact I can grab a box of $40 ammo and go shoot .3” MOA groups with my 6.5 PRC, is it any better than my 6.5-284 or a few other 6.5s not really but I don’t have the reasonably priced ammo for my 6.5-284 either unless I handload, Nosler ammo is about twice what Hornady charges and it’s no better imho. I am surprised at all the negativity around the cartridge, you would think Hornady had done something wrong with introducing a new SA 6.5 mag cartridge with factory head stamped brass, something Remington and Winchester dropped the ball on ? For the life of me I can’t figure out why they never introduced the 6.5 in their respective SA cartridge lineups ???? Either way good to hear ADG and Bertram will be producing quality headstamped brass for the 6.5 PRC Rumour is Lapua is thinking hard about adding it to their brass lineup. On another note I received my reamer in the mail for my 300 PRC build ! [/QUOTE]
