Using FPS and FPE as the benchmark, a 6.5PRC can do at 700 yards what the .270 Win can do at 600. And a 7mm RM can do at 700 what the 6.5PRC can do at 600.

The 6.5PRC is a good cartridge but hard to justify the purchase of one since I already have the 7mm RM. (And a 6.5-06AI that beats the PRC handily but is heavier than I want to carry in the mountains. Awesome for antelope and sage deer, though.)

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
