If you want to get into the fast 7mm game, I say go for it. A guy could get a rifle and potentially a lifetime supply of hunting ammo in the same stop. If the other guy doesn’t want a 7 PRC, don’t get one. Easy.
Yeah glad I chose the 6mm Creed instead of the 6.5. During the severe ammo drought I regularly found the 6mm locally (ammo and brass) while there were guys (or their wives/GF) at the counter begging for 6.5 Creed. I just though to myself wow I guess I made the right choice, it never hampered my shooting one bit.
