[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1667856, member: 42308"] As interesting and versatile as the 6.5PRC May prove to be, I’d be hard pressed to go away from a 6.5/06 in one form or another. It’s easy, it isn’t fussy to load for, it is capable and light recoiling. It feeds reliably in standard form without any fuss. 6.5/06 was my first custom rifle, a long time ago. I have had several over the years. They have a tendency to get built, get to the range, take one or two hunting trips and end up getting sold to who I went with. I am ready to re-barrel my current 6.5/06 I had built off a savage LA. I have been looking at a 26” Proof 8 twist barrel. It will make a nice rifle to carry as I am getting into the second half of my hunting seasons. As long as they make 25/06, 270, and 30/06 brass is not going to be a problem. With more than 100 years of successful history behind the 30/06 I doubt my grandchildren will have a problem finding brass to feed a 6.5/06. 6.5PRC and the other short action magnums, time will tell. 6.5 PRC is not a bad or poor choice at all, I’m just a bit of a traditionalist.
