When/if availability of reloading components settles down I sort of have an idea for a "hunting weight" 6PRC. 6.5PRC brass seems to be in mighty short supply and I'm not building something if I can't source several hundred pieces of brass to form with up front.
I guess I'll just have to plod along with the boring old 270Win for a while longer......
I’m sorry, I fell asleep as soon as I read “with the boring old 270Win”. I’m getting tired again while I type thissssssss.........snoring

The Creedmoor family of cartridges has been and will continue to be the most effective launch of a new chambering to date. First and foremost, they started with a cartridge that doesn't rattle your fillings on every shot. Then they got the magazine OAL capacity and chamber dimensions in harmony while also looking @ where projectile R&D was going in order to get the twist correct not only for current offerings, but, also projectiles they assumed would come in the future. Now, the popularity has soared because it's easy to shoot well. As such, the price to shoot it will continue to fall as the volume of ammo loaded for it rises. The relatively low cost to shoot the rifle means more shooting, more practice, which makes people better shooters, some of which they'll attribute to the chambering.
That was a damn fine post SD. Do you agree Rem also was tone deaf about their .17 when the HMR craze began?
you’re comparing the 17 Remington center fire vs the 17 hmr????
