[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2376128, member: 42157"] Based on your parameters for me one thing controls the new cartridge choice. How important is talking about how much coin you spend important to you or not. You can easily spend $5+ per round for your 6.5PRC if you wanted. Going with the "new popular" but does nothing really any better go with a 300PRC. I would go with a 300WM in half a heart beat. My latest waste of money was a custom built 223 that sucks for accuracy. I have probably 12 pages of loads and notes, and it will only shoot .75"-1" groups. The gunsmith took half a day "I'll help you get a load for it because it should shoot well under .5". I show up with all my components, data book, and the first thing he says is "Oh, I know what is wrong already you need LAPUA brass." So we try every bullet I have 20+, brass 4+, powder 6, primers 8, with no change for the better. He did not have any LAPUA 223 brass, and dug out some hand made super custom target bullets and it would shoot right about .5". Finish the day and he says get some of those bullets, LAPUA brass, and I will find a great load. Look up the bullets....NFWIH was or am I going to spend $80/100 bullets to shoot vermin with a 223 or anything for that matter. I did order the brass, and not one bit of change in my group size. Its sitting in storage two years later I just cant get myself to spend anymore money on it. [/QUOTE]
