Love my 6.5 PRC. 143grn Hornady ELD-x at 2930fps. It’s a flat shooting laser with .322” group at 100yds.
Without going down a rabbit hole, how does a 6.5 compare to a 243? Looking for a gun for my wife.
Back in the early 90's I chose the 7mm-08 for a big game caliber. As a reloader, it has great versatility. When Remington came out with the .260, I nearly switched over as my wife started hunting with me. I was always a fan of the 6.5 X 55, but with my petite wife a short action Rem model 7 was a perfect fit, and the one we found was in 7mm-08. The .260 never caught on, but 6.5 Creedmoor has caught fire. Is there an advantage to the Creedmoor Vs. the .260 or the 6.5 X 55?Just pondering these things On hiatus from work awaiting Covid test results! All 3 of my children (now adults) use a 7mm-08 like me, Unfortunately my wife passed away and only hunts with us in spirit now.
They’re fun to shoot. Not a lot of knockdown power. Most seem to shoot well. On the small side for mule deer or bear.
