It's pretty crowded in both 6mm and 6.5 territory as it is but there always seems to be room for more. For me, I'm going to wait and see what the 6.5 PRC does. If it achieves an honest, uncompromised 3100 with a 143, that would leave little doubt, in my mind anyway. that it will be here to stay. If it is anything like my overbore 6.5/.270WSM was at that 140/3100 + velocity, the barrel makers will keep busy .I think the same may apply to a SAUM based 6.5. There is still a new Sierra 6.5/150 gr to deal with that will prove interesting as well. Maybe the old Swede will have to deal with that one.
