Why 6.5CM over 6.5PRC if you reload?

[QUOTE="Paper boy, post: 1724386, member: 110735"] An ongoing question. if you are such enough to be able to afford every caliber out there get both. But if your like MILLIONS of us, that's just not the case. In fact you make a good case on the selection. I am NOT a hunter, I am a competition target shooter that reloads all my ammo that I shoot. I have a Sako TRG 22 ib 6.5 cm that I love but got it before the PRC was an issue. My Sako costs $3,050. from European Optics (great people) it soots great and I adore it but, unfortunatley can't be rebarreled to a PRC. the PRC requires a magnum size bolt face to handle the round and the short action of the CM can't handle the PRC case length.. Bottom line, the CM is a great round shoots straight and far but, the PRC canid do anything the CM can do and more. Sure, there are tons of calibers out there it can drive you crazy, if your not already when I do all this again, it will be on the PRC. on the negative of all this is the availability of PRC brass is thin, mostly Hornady offerings out there, I think Nosler offers some but currently few others. The PRC is gaining popularity at a good pace and I'm sure it will remain popular and is growing in Long range shooting and does make a great shooting round. I really think that the 6.5 PRC will win this race. good luck! [/QUOTE]
