6.5 CM or 6.5 PRC for suppressed elk gun

[Ajsomp]

Having owned both, the PRC will have a higher recoil. Not saying it’s “high” recoil, but it’s noticeable in shooting offhand/field positions off a front rest, kneeling etc vs the creed.

YMMV.

I went PRC. This allows me to easily mimic the typical Creedmoor performance with a short suppressor friendly barrel.

Those three letters also seem to make Fudds less nervous (annoying) on an elk hunt. Which holds value to me.

Cracks me up when guys will say how great the prc is while crapping all over the cm… like they aren’t shooting the same projectiles and we are splitting hairs over 120-200 fps….

That's a great analogy. The irony there is I drive a F350 crew cab 8ft bed daily. Maybe I should just sack up and get a 300 win mag...

Right. I know a guy who despises 7 Rem Mag. Thinks it's the worst cartridge ever created. Yet now his "end all be all" best rifle ever is chambered in 7 PRC.
