Why 6.5CM over 6.5PRC if you reload?

[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1724495, member: 9308"] I've always felt the 6.5 CM was a great TARGET cartridge, just as it was designed to be. The fact that it made a very good deer round, too, was just a bonus. The 6.5 PRC is what a 'hunting' version of the 6.5 CM should be; modern, efficient cartridge design in a short action, fired out of rifles 'twisted' for the 'heavy-for-caliber' bullet designs, but at greater speeds to minimize wind drift and drop. The 6.5 CM is being usurped by it's little brother on the target ranges (6mm CM) and getting bested on the hunting fields by it's bigger, newer brother (6.5 PRC.) I don't think the 6.5 CM will ever fade away at this point, but I think the 6.5 PRC is the rising star here in regards to hunting. Since that's what you want to do with it, then the PRC is your huckleberry. [/QUOTE]
