Thanks @Riflehunter.
I would think from the numbers that these things would be everywhere.
To those who have them, whats the down side? I've always wondered why these were not more popular.
The downsides are 1. brass availability 2. The Ruger Hawkeye short action which is what they were usually chambered in, like many short-actions, would do better with a 3" internal magazine length so you could seat the longer higher bc 225 grain projectiles and heavier out further. Otherwise it's a superb cartridge/rifle combination (exactly the same case as the 6.5 PRC except for the neck).
