Will the 6.5 & 300 PRC cartridges still be a viable options for shooters? I've got a 6.5 PRC that is relagated to being a paperweight. I've been waiting for brass and ammo come back in circulation, but it doesn't appear that is going to happen soon.
Unlike the 6.5 PRC, Yersinia pestis (Plague) is alive and well.

The EV of cartridges in an era of high prices.
That's just it. 338 LM & 300 NM are almost cheaper to buy.I wouldn't be stoking the funeral pyre for the rifle if I had one in the safe, but wouldn't be 'pulling the trigger' on any of the ammo listed on AmmoSeek for either chambering. $5-8 per round. Fuck that.
Not even close.That's just it. 338 LM & 300 NM are almost cheaper to buy.
Where???That's just it. 338 LM & 300 NM are almost cheaper to buy.
I read somewhere that 6.5 PRC is the new most popular hunting round. That may have something to do with scarcity of components.
And its in Prairie dogs. WHo doesn't love prairie dogs! (Even if it is as targets)Unlike the 6.5 PRC, Yersinia pestis (Plague) is alive and well.

Thats an incredible claim. id like to see the article and data to back up something like that.
most popular PRS round? ok.
most popular hunting round in the USA? No way.
Key word is NEW, not most popular overall or most widely used.Thats an incredible claim. id like to see the article and data to back up something like that.
most popular PRS round? ok.
most popular hunting round in the USA? No way.
Almost...Where???

I was really impressed with the 6.5 PRC. I hope the component inventory will come back soon...Not sure it will though.I don’t see PRC leaving anytime soon. The components for everything are hard to get in general. Couple that with everyone who owns one jumping on Lapua brass etc as soon as it came out creates a long backorder list
The PRC do have advantages that I think will keep it around for the time to come
It will get better. Will prices ever come back to “normal” likely not. A new normal will be primers for $80/1000 and powder for $40-$45 lbs.I was really impressed with the 6.5 PRC. I hope the component inventory will come back soon...Not sure it will though.
You're probably right. But how long has this lasted? 2+ years? I don't know how much of it is new gun owners entering the market. Maybe it's people buying up as much as they can. Maybe it's a combination of multiple factors...I don't know for sure.It will get better. Will prices ever come back to “normal” likely not.

The upcoming mid terms will have a definite effect on the gun world if there’s change either way.
Likely a combination of several things,You're probably right. But how long has this lasted? 2+ years? I don't know how much of it is new gun owners entering the market. Maybe it's people buying up as much as they can. Maybe it's a combination of multiple factors...I don't know for sure.
Ha...indeed. I rarely do anything terribly smart but I did stock up on 308 powder and brass.Said no 308 shooter ever
I think FUCKERY is the cause of everything. I'm almost considering rebarrelling my 6.5 PRC. 300 WSM brass just slightly easier to find.I don't get it.
Look at ADG. I can find .375UM and 30 Nosler brass everywhere.
Or Lapua. Brass for the 6.5x284 is widely available.
When I walk into my LGS, 6.5 prc rifles are all over the place. Why isn't more prc brass being produced? At this point brass manufacturers can do a massive run of 6.5prc and sell every friggin' piece at a premium without any issues. I'd buy enough up front last at least a couple barrels. So... what gives?
I'm not normally the tin foil hat, conspiracy theory type, but I feel like there's fuckery going on here.
30-06 is just a bridge between the 308 and 300WM if you feel you need more than a 308 for hunting you might as well step up to the 300WM.LONG LIVE THE 308 AND 30-06!!
That's what im saying. The industry flooded the market with 6.5 PRC rifles and a shit ton of people bought them right as this fuckery started.I don't get it.
