They just confirmed that the new PRC will be based off the 300RCM case but shortened to 2.020 or something like that. SO it will be close to the 6.5SAUM about 2-3GR less capacity but should push a 140gr at 3000fps but only using faster powders than H1000 like what the SAUM uses.
I am fond of 6.5mm/.264 hunting rifles and have used a 6.5-'06 since 19 (mumble). I also acquired a .300 RCM Hawkeye to go along with my .375 Ruger when the RCMs were introduced. I swapped some emails with Ruger and Hornady in '09 to see if they might consider a 6.5 RCM. At that time Hornady considered a 6.5 on the RCM case to be overbore, but a shorter version with "precision" in the name must be mo' bettah for them. Since I have an RCM shell holder I am already primed to reload these cartridges.
Now I am waiting to see what rifle builders chamber the cartridge, or else I will just go buy another NULA.
