Been looking at the latest greatest... It sure looks like a good one...?

Anybody have any experience with the cartridge yet? what do you like about it or not? Has anybody spun one on to their Savage actions yet?

I'm thinking about converting my old time 30-06 over to a 6.5 PRC... I know I'd have to change out the bolt face to accommodate the larger case, but am wondering if I'd have to change out anything else on my 111 (IE magazine or tweak the feed lips).

I already have a .260 (and I love it) but it lacks the punch at longer distances (for big game) and I built it more as a target/bench gun. the 6.5 PRC would be more hunting application and weight reduction to make it more carry friendly. But still carry enough punch at 700 yards for deer/elk.

This deer season I had a spot where I could shoot distances between 300-700 yards in any direction... Mostly between 500-700.. I tested my shot at 654 yards at a 1 MOA rock and darn near dead centered it cold bore.

Just wanting to have something i can make that shot with, but just lighter and with more punch.

Happy Holidays,
