AKWolverine,
The A-Square company introduced the 6.5-06 as a SAAMi commerical cartridge in 1997, but it died with the company in 2012.
The 6.5 PRC is essentially a short-action 6.5-06, since the powder capacity is just about identical.
IIRC, A-Square also had a 6.5-308, but Rem got it thru the SAAMI somehow before, wonder if they had to pay royalties.
If Hornady brings out a round, they do things right, twist, marketing, quality ammo at decent prices.
When Rem did the 260, they hamstrung it, 9 twist, marginal sub-par ammo in accuracy and speed, and not decent prices.
Had Hornady done the 6.5-308 they would have had an 8 twist, quality affordable ammo, and might have used a 25 or 30 degree shoulder......
