Anyone have opinions on this round?

Just another "Swede" in a shinny new wrapper.

My son has one and loves it. 

He has proven that it will kill an elk if that means anything. 

I prefer the Sweed as far as 6.5's go but the .260 is just as good if not better because of it being in a short action. 

I honestly think the PRC is a good cartridge and young guys like new stuff. I guess I fall more under the category of an old guy and I like old stuff.

I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.
