...and another one - Hornady 6.5 PRC

Dave Emery must really be on to something when it comes to developing redundant cartridges. If he pulls this particular one off it will be a super miracle... but he's done that before.

Im sure people felt the same about the 30-30, 270, 280, 308 etc.

Could be but there were a lot more holes to fill in those days. The holes are getting smaller every year now.

I do agree with you on that. I think it's incremental advances in bullet technology driving incremental advances in case design. I won't encourage new shooters or hunters to invest in the specialty cartridges. I however like to play with alleged better mouse traps.

Totally . I was just playing around with Quickload and from all appearances it looks like they may have just hit another homer with this one... just like it's parent case the Ruger RCM and, of course, the CM .If they actually get their advertised velocities, which seems likely, it's going to be a tough one to beat as I see it now. A better mouse trap, as you say.
The hole it fills is small though as it beats the 6.5x55 SE (with modern pressures) by only 100 yd in MV.. Swede at 2810 MV and the PRC 2810 @ 100 yds with 143's. Anyway, it' a nice enough cartridge IMO to get me wanting one anyway, that's for sure. I see Dave Emery has retired after this last launch. He's earned it !
