18” 6.5 Creed Vs 20” 6.5 PRC

Just caught this part, there's not any more power in the PRC as they shoot the exact same projectiles. The benefit to more speed with the same projectile is a little less drop and a little better performance in wind, neither of which are a factor with a max shot distance of 450 yards. IMO the PRC in this scenario is a complete waste of powder and unnecessary recoil and ammo expense.

I appreciate this info. The PRC ammo is definitely more expensive compared to the creed. And as of now, I do not own any rifles with low recoil besides rimfires. Seeming like the creed is the way to go for my use case.

I had a 20” 6.5 PRC. Great gun. I now shoot a 18” 6.5 creed. The PRC gave me more range than I needed at high recoil levels.

There are some companies bringing NAS3 cased ammo to market that will give you similar PRC velocities out of a creed. As that becomes more common I see less need for the PRC.
