Why 6.5CM over 6.5PRC if you reload?

[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1724680, member: 110773"] I’m going to have to all ‘BS’ on that. Got my first centerfire, a 7mm RM, ’82 and have been reloading ever since. Currently reload for .223, .22-250, .243 Win, .257 Roberts, 6/5-06 AI, .270 Win, 7mm RM, .300 BLK, .30-30, .308 Win, .30-06, .300 WM, .338WM, .375 Win, .44 Mag and .45-70 for rifles. Add at least five more for handgun cartridges. Don’t have a 6.5CM but I do have a Savage 111 that will likely become a 6.5PRC for a variety of reasons: The rifle will likely go to a family member sometime down the road and only one SIL reloads. [LIST=1] [*]I believe the 6.5 PRC will be a big winner in the marketplace with good availability of inexpensive brass and factory ammo in the long term. [*]The exterior ballistics are similar (but don’t quite equal) that of my 6.5-06AI. [*]The rifle is currently a 7mm RM. A 6.5PRC has the same diameter as the belt on the 7mm RM – no worries about feed lip or mag follower modifications to ensure smoot feeding. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
