[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2307594, member: 66917"] No, the 6.5 PRC is a short mag based off the same case design, ie. the base and web area are all very similar. The grand father case is the 375 Ruger. The 6.5 PRC maxes out around 60ish grains of most powders and most people are shooting 56-60grains on their max loads. The 300 is a very long cartridge and holds more along the lines of 80grains of powder. The actual total water numbers for both cartridges vary depending on manufacturer. Essentially the both designs ie. SAAMI spec, supports longer heavy for caliber bullets. This is one of the major differences from the say 300 Win Mag SAMMI design. [/QUOTE]
