PH3 .308 or 6.5 CM?

[Turkeytider]

If I had a "chopped .270" I'd go up a cartridge class for the elk. Mind blown looking at their website at the twist rates for the .308. If you have to have the 20'', and I don't blame you, the 1/8 6.5 PRC would be my choice. Long action 22'' and good twist it is the 7 RM that appeals to me even though .30 cal holes are better. If they put a 1/8 30 cal win mag/prc then those would be my huckleberry since I like the monos...

I've seen 6.5 PRC described as a somewhat souped up 6.5 CM. If that's accurate, wouldn't that make it a hunting round with more punch than the Creedmoor and just as effective as a long range target round?

6.5 creedmore everyday.
That's what I use for almost all my hunting out to 650.

Loaded with the 123gr absolute hammer at 3100fps is a nice combo. Taken a decent amount of elk. Last year it took one big bull and a cow just over 600 yards

Curious what 123 gr you are shooting?
