6.5 PRC on a SA

[WildRose]

Not many people would know or agree to this but Gunwerks in Wyoming actually developed the 6.5PRC under the name 6.5 LRM! Hornady wanted to mainstream it, Gunwerks let them.

No, that simply isn't correct. Different case, different dimensions, different case volume.

I don't have time to listen to it but apparently this podcast deals with Gunwerks involvement. https://www.gunwerks.com/blogs/podcast/is-the-new-6-5-prc-here-to-stay

Davidson is trying to take credit for something he had nothing to do with.

The 6.5LRM and 6.5PRC are completely different rounds. Gunwerks developed the 6.5LRM by simply necking down the 7LRM to 6.5 and it was a commercial failure although a great round.

The PRC is actually inferior to the LRM but with Hornady, GAP and others getting behind it early and being fully ready to support it with rifles etc once it hit the market it has been a commercial success.

The two are also based on completely different cases.

Hmmm well I wouldn't want to go around insinuating anything without some proof. In any case I think it's early to call the 6.5 PRC a commercial success. I won't until it's been around for a few years and manufacturers like Ruger, Savage, and/or Howa start building PRS style "economic" rifles for the sport.

It's already been provided in the article I posted earlier.

The 6.5PRC is based off of the 300 RCM, the LRM, just a necked down 7LRM or 6.5-375 Ruger.

Completely different cases.

Hornday, Ruger, GAP are the companies behind the PRC.

The PRC has already proven to be a commercial success with millions of rounds of ammo and thousands of rifles already being produced in the chambering. Whether it remains so in the long term is something else.

The 6.5LRM was a complete failure as a commercial round and only a handful of rifles, no factory ammo, and not even any prperly headstamped brass available for the round.

I assume you didn't bother tolisten to what Davidson said before insulting him.

He says when they started working on it in 2012 they had in house called it 6.5 SHORT long range magnum. Then continues to speak about all the mistakes they made and learning experiences during 7LRM production.

This is different than their 6.5-7LRM.

I'm taking it directly from the posted article.

Aaron gives background on the development of the 7mm LRM and collaboration with Hornady on the 6.5 LRM, which eventually led to the 6.5 PRC. Ballistics and benefits of the cartridge as well as a few of the considerations to make before choosing it for your next cartridge.

Hornady developed the PRC in house from a lengthened .30 RCM.

This round has only two rounds in production that I see from Hornady. And been in production for less than two years correct? I find it unlikely that they have loaded millions of rounds much less a million.

Hornady can turn out a million rounds in less than a week.

If we were talking about 22 lr and the Speer plant in Lewiston, yeah they can produce millions in a day. Or if we are speaking about ammo for the military and Hornady's link with Lake City then sure. But we are talking about a new round which is fairly esoteric. So I don't see the motivation. I don't know of a many production rifles chambered in 6.5 PRC. So who is shooting these millions or rounds other than people with custom rifles?

You reall should try eduating yourself before posting.

What do you see at the link above?

 

[xsn10s]

I don't see any of those offerings being a high production rifle. I would define those as either custom or low production rifles. Now if it was Ruger, Savage, Remington, Winchester or like companies then I would say yes it's being offered as a production rifle.

Keep moving those goalpoasts, it's really helping your argument.
