Why 6.5CM over 6.5PRC if you reload?

[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 1724575, member: 28741"] If you can only have 1 rifle of this type, PRC would be a good choice. You can load it light as you suggested. Recoil is a significant consideration if you plan to shoot it a lot. Which you should. :) A brake on either will reduce recoil proportionately. There is some niftyness in a short action cartridge. Less powder, somehow seems more portable, and when I reload for the CM it's just less of a big deal mentally to me compared to my 7RM. I don't mind loading this and that experimental stuff with the CM, but I'm pretty selective when it comes to the 7RM. It's 50% more powder and it is meant to do some serious business. More serious than a PRC. I wouldn't mind a PRC for the fun of it, I've considered it, but I don't know that it recoils much less than a 7RM, and the 7RM has better terminal performance than the PRC. Only so much time to reload. A nice spectrum to own along these lines is 243 6.5cm 270, 7RM... A nice jump between each. There is a significant difference between the 6.5CM and 7RM, and in terms of stopping power probably a significant difference between PRC and 7RM. Hope I've made you stop and ruminate over it even more :D [/QUOTE]
