[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1523069, member: 10291"] Many of the PRS competitors switched to the 6mm because of the light recoil, AND, the preference to shoot free recoil which they feel can produce greater accuracy with the tough targets. I will say that I know if quite a few shooters that have gone back to the 6.5. The price paid is shorter barrel life(800-1500rds) compared to the 6.5(2000-2500), and, greater difficulty in spotting impacts with the lighter bullets, the reason for the growing popularity of lighted hit indicators on the LR steel targets. For your purposes, I’d go for the 6.5. With a break, I don’t think you will find the difference that much of a factor. I can barely feel the difference between my 6.5x47 and my buddies 6XC, both braked. [/QUOTE]
