[QUOTE="h_1ag, post: 2982185, member: 121794"] Pretty much every cartridge released since 2010 (exception for straight walls satisfying foolish state legislative rules) is “riding the Creedmoor’s coat tails.” The only thing 6.5PRC shares is a projectile diameter- it’s basically a short magnum. People love to crap on Creedmoor, but it’s influence is undeniable. OL Shooting Editor John B Snow wrote a very interesting piece crediting Creedmoor’s launch as the intro of the “modern cartridge design” era- virtually every cartridge since then has repackaged the same formula: Long, heavy, high BC bullets; sharp shoulder angles; fast twist; longer neck length; moderate velocity; tight throats.
