[QUOTE="kgarrett, post: 2836292, member: 123496"] It’s pretty dramatic IMO. 250 fps more, it’s like the difference from 30/06 to 300 win mag. That said, I think the common bullet weights are still a little light for game larger than deer. With tough or heavy for caliber bullets the 6.5 PRC is an adequate elk cartridge IMO and significantly better than a CM. I’ve got two 6.5 CM and have 6.5 PRC coming; its big advantage is that it has the energy/velocity of a CM 200-300 yds further out and a flatter trajectory. In fact, the trajectory for 300 and 6.5 PRC is surprisingly similar to 1000 yds. In any case, 6.5 prc is more than needed for coyotes unless you want to use your primary big game rifle for coyotes too. I agree with those who suggested a modern 6 mm is ideal. I’ve got a 243, but am tempted sometimes to sell it and get a 6 mm CM. [/QUOTE]
