The PRC is just a long necked, no belt, long leade version of the 6.5 Rem Mag. There is nothing new here.
The PRC should have more case capacity (velocity), and is actually factory supported (component availability). Not to mention ditching the useless belt...
The 6.5 Rem Mag was a good idea, ended up as a step child, largely due to Rem's decision to bring it out in a short barrel carbine, never giving it proper play, never developing it to what it should have been.
So, having a very similar round (PRC) in a better configuration, rolled out by a better company, developed into what it could be, will be way different than what went down with Remington and their 6.5 Mag. If there was a way to screw something up, Remington seemed to be there. They hit a few home runs, like the 7RM, seems to me they struck out more than they hit.
IMO.
