[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2307608, member: 66917"] You can get cartridges that can be run a lot faster than the 6.5 PRC, but because of the wide availability of ballistic calculators and ways to computer elevation and wind changes has some what nullified general need to have the faster bullet in the woods. Consistent accuracy has become one of the primary goals, and I think has begun to out weigh ultimate speed. That's not to say you can't achieve both but finding consistent accuracy and ease of finding accurate loads tends to be easier at the medium speeds you can achieve with the 6.5 PRC or the 6.5-284 versus say a 26 Nosler. From my experience long very over-bore cartridges tend to be very finicky. My 7mm STW and 7mm RUM were both was more finicky than my 7mm LRM. Now with enough experimenting I could get the longer cartridges to shoot, where my LRM would easily eat almost everything I tried. I don't know if its related but I have found very fast bows tend to be harder to tune than medium speed bows. [/QUOTE]
