Well, nephew got a bug...as youngin are apt to do. He ordered a custom rifle in 6.5 PRC.

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.
