I suspect that they did this to out-Hornady Hornady. Look at the past- H is always doing this kind of crap to other people's cartridges. They did it to deny H the 270 PRC.
Not sure that Hornady would want to dilute demand for the 6.5 PRC, but who knows.
Either way, it’s a tough time to introduce a new chambering when you can’t even keep up with the demand for existing offerings.
