[QUOTE="redneckbmxer24, post: 3028275, member: 11459"] I just don't reload at the moment (sold all my reloading stuff when I moved to FL) and with costs and availability of components I probably won't get back to it anytime soon. I've got my 6.5CM though so I’m not very concerned about being able to find ammo for my second rifle at a mom and pop store. Even Walmart has 6.5 on the shelf in a half dozen flavors that would work in a pinch. I’m far more concerned about prioritizing whether I NEED a magnum, something shorter, or whether I should put a priority on hunting suppressed or is a brake fine. I would only buy a 300WM though unless I was going to get a 7PRC barrel made too. I’ve had 300WM’s and I’m a target weight rifle for ELR I loved it launching 215 Hybrids but in hunting weight rifles it was beyond what I found comfortable to shoot. I could manage with a brake probably but would still prefer the lighter recoil of a 7mm. [/QUOTE]
