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.

I have an 18” 6.5 creedmoor that is suppressed, I’d take it on an elk hunt, no problem. It’s taken goat, a few caribou and hopefully some black bears and an aoudad this coming/next season.

Those of you running a prc what bullet weight range do you tend to prefer?

Man, great question. I'm personally battling if I want a 6.5 PRC or 7mm Backcountry. For you, I'd say sell the ammo and get exactly what you want! Good luck brother.

I'm running a 18 inch suppressed 6.5 prc and I have tried 127 lrx, 140 Norma soft points can't remember for sure what they were, 143 eldx, 147 eldm, and my favorite so far is the berger 140 vld out of this rifle. Target shooting and for fun stuff I run the eld lines of factory ammo but the 140 vld for hunting I have the loads done by unknown munitions.
