6.5 PRC Regrets

[JBradley500]

Do you feel the same way about long bed gasoline powered pick-up trucks?

The .270 Winchester - has been the ubiquitous Western hunting cartridge for nearly a hundred years.

Have to believe that there's a snow-globe out there for you somewhere.

I don't have strong emotional connections to specific cartridges (or automobiles), which is probably why I don't preach superiority for those topics on Internet forums.

What does the 6.5 PRC do out to 300 yds, or even inside of 400 yds, better, to offset all the negatives it brings?

The negatives you cite are contrived and ridiculous.

And true.

So, what does the 6.5 PRC do out to 300 yds, or even inside of 400 yds, better?

Is this what happens when people don't have kids to brag about?




My kid can run 400 meters (gay) just as good as your kid!

And he only eats twinkies and hohos. Don't need none of that healthy food.

I was excited when I saw this thread pop up, as I went down the 6.5 PRC rabbit hole last year.

BUT, this might be the worst thread I've ever read on Rokslide. Holy smokes, guys.

Absolutely nothing. There, you happy. But what does the 270 at 300, or even 400, do better than 90% of the cartridges available today? Nothing. It’s not superior to anything.

At the end of the day, it is still a 6.5 bullet. It may be going faster than a Creedmoor but until you get beyond pass through range for the Creedmoor it won't seem much different, assuming you are shooting the same bullet from each.

Yes it is a gay measurement system quite literally created by God hating French atheists who wanted to start their own new world order. And yes God exists and blesses his believers.

Go ahead and sell your .270, doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

So is God against the metric system?

Haven’t you read the Sermon on the Rok?

1 ft = 12 in

1 yd = 3 ft

1 yd = 36 in

1 mile = 1760 yards

1 lb = 16 oz

1 ton = 2000 lbs

1 gallon = 4 quarts

1 gallon = 128 fl oz

1 quart = 2 pints

1 pint = 2 cups

1 cup = 8 fl oz

I would have assumed God was pretty smart but if he's behind that ^ nonsense...

There appears to be a threshold there, and the .277 bullet is generally considered the bottom of it, with not a lot of distinction until quite a ways above, like 35 Cal..

Doesn't matter that much for a high-shoulder shot, but a double-lung shot is a different matter.

There is no threshold, and is never considered the bottom of it lol. If you think the minimal difference between a .277 bullet and a .264 is the difference between a pass thru and not, you’re dumber than my wife’s people.
