[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1955630, member: 10291"] I doubt very much that the 6.5PRC will obsolete the 6,5CM. It’s very well embedded. While I prefer the 6.5x47L, this similar cartridge and the 6,5CM fills the need for volume shooting, practice, and competition. Under equivalent conditions, you could probably expect up to 2x the barrel life,lower cooperating cost with the 6.5CM, and more compact rifles with less recoil. It do at 700 yards what the PRC will do at 1000 yards when it comes to hunting/target ballistics. The bulk of the hunting public is unlikely going to shoot medium game past 500 yards. Those shooting larger game at longer ranges are just as likely to opt for a cartridge larger the the 6.5PRC. IMO. [/QUOTE]
