[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1780291, member: 54178"] I got "started" in the 6.5 school through the 6.5 Creedmoor in a Ruger Precision Rifle for competition. Seemed like the right cartridge for shooting out to our steel range's 1,100 yard maximum. Also my Gen. 1 RPR had far more features for the price than anything else on the market four years ago. Next I bought a Browning X-Bolt Pro in 6.5 CM and it was very accurate. Recently I sold the 6.5 CM X-Bolt and got another X-Bolt Pro in 6.5 PRC. Yeah, you might say I really like that Pro design and its many "semi-custom" features. But the 6.5 PRC makes a lot of sense to those of us who hunt big game here in the western states. Ranges are longer and lethal ft. lbs. of energy need to be maintained out to those longer distances. And I also sold my .300 Win. mag. Browning A-Bolt because I have the 6.5 PRC. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
